Electric circuits: Study guide (Addison-Wesley series in electrical and computer engineering)

compared to other similar books, it is more effective, elaborate, it is the most widely used electric circuits textbook for now.

It's a good book for basic circuits and all the tricks that you need to know. Even though they came with newer version not much changes from the core of the older version so worth to keep it around.

This is a great book. Very good explanations, lots of examples, lots of practice questions, good layout (everything is well-placed and there's lots of coloured diagrams/images), and good reference sections. I'm definitely keeping this book for future reference. The only bad things about it are that it is simplistic (it doesn't include important material that could have been easily included), and it has a lot of typos, especially considering that it's in its 8th edition.

I have seen most of you guys' complaints about the book and I would agree. Except, I have the complete instructors solutions manuals to the 5th edition Electric Circuits book by James W. Nilsson and Susan A. Riedel. Actually there are 2 solutions manuals to this book. If you want the worked out solutions leave your e-mail address on your own review on here and prehaps I will contact you.
