Barron's Electronics the Easy Way

my husband loves this book. hes an elevator mechanic and always wanting to learn. we found this at the lirbray and after he checked it out over six times i decided it would be a good buy! worth it!

I bought this book for my Basic Electronics class, and it really helped with understanding everything. I wasn't falling asleep or overwhelmed. It really turns me off when something advertises itself as the "easy way" to do something because I feel like I'm ripping myself off, but after reading this book a bit, I realized that it's not a shortcut-- it's simply laid out well, so yeah I'm a fan. -allie

Book met my needs

This is an excellent book for basic electronics. I have about a dozen books on basic electronics and this is probably the best written out of them. It is written for an individual with no electronics experience that wishes to learn on his or her own. It is not a textbook and does not go past basic theory, but it does cover the theory of operation of several appliances such as; Television, VCR?s, audio cassettes, Compact Disks and radio. It does have a small amount of math that is well explained.
