Summary: Great Book. Just keep a few things in mind
Comment: I originally bought this book about 5 years ago and subsequently lost it. I recently found a discounted copy, and snached it up right quick. This book is probably one of the most helpful pieces of text for the electronics hobbyist ever written. It will lower your lead time on almost any project, and will save your multimeter from too much adapter abuse. The projects are diverse, and each one has a multitude of uses. I bought this book primarily for the "Frequency Counter" project. And here's where this book gets four stars instead of five: Mr. Bergquist must have been sponsored by Harris/Intersil when he wrote this book, as you'll see by the unnaturally high percentage of their chips/semi's in every single project. In particular, the aforementioned Frequency Counter utilized a ICM7216DIPI, which is no longer made by Harris/Intersil or anyone else for that matter. However, I was able to locate a set of these chips in an Indonesian chip bank at about $30 US each with shipping. The same problem was encountered with other specific H/I chips throughout the book. (ICL7107 in stock trim, ICM7217IJI in particular)
If it wasn't for the relative scarcity of the project IC's, this would be a hands down "everyone buy this" type of elextronics book. Perhaps it could be rewritten with modern chips or some NTE replacement part number lists?
Rating: 5
Summary: One of the best books on this subject available!
Comment: This is a truly informative book that helped me not only build several interesting , and useful pieces of test equipement, but also helped me understand the entire field of electronics better. I also like the author's style of writing.
