Printed Circuit Board Basics: An Introduction to the PCB Industry

This book was a good introduction for someone completely unfamiliar with PCB's. The other reviewers are very correct that it is out of date by at least 10 years, but it is a good book.

There are plenty of PCB books out there, but Flatt's Printed Circuit Board Basics seems to be the only one that brings it all together in a basic, short, orderly format. If you don't mind searching through four or five hundred pages for basic info on PCBs then the other books are fine. But why do that, when Flatt's book does it for you.He gives you a good idea of the steps of how a standard PCB is manufactured. Although a few steps maybe outdated (ex. punch cards). There are even some IPC and Mil-Spec standards given, but here again some standards maybe outdated (but you can find the latest versions on the web).The title of the book says it all. Get the book if you want a basic foundation on PCBs.
