I even cited this book as a reference for some of my school assignments and discussion posts. Once I surpassed digital electronics and got into microprocessors and programming, this book was not as useful, but still an outstanding tool. I'm also an avionics technician at work, so I bring this book with me on the job sometimes.

I got this book a while back, excellent intro and got me excited for electronics, and I’m now pursuing EE in college, I got this book under my bed, for when I need it, it’s golden, I reccomend it to others
@@undernetjack I think it is quite bad. I had a student who took it about a decade ago, and was conceptually lost. It is weirdly superficial and dogmatic, more about repair than creation.
Also, out of date. If you are using big analog circuits, quit and use a board computer like an RPi or ESP32. If you want to design custom chips, you will need considerable training time or AI. I’d outsource it. For medium sized projects the design software will optimize for price and power consumption better than most humans.

Thank you so much for this suggestion, this is an amazing book, as a non EE person, I started developing circuits but always hit roadblocks and now this became a go to book for me.
i was given this book by my dad when i was 8. its been read cover to cover so many times since. i couldn't have asked for a better sense of electronics fundamentals than this book gave me
When I went down the path to learn electronics in 2016 someone recommended this book, so I picked it up. It’s been an invaluable resource but … I’m STILL reading it.
I learned more from the Art of Electronics book than I ever did in my degree course, it's brilliant. It made me realise that theoretical and practical electronics are almost two different disciplines! This book looks even better for the practical side...it's on my wishlist now. Thanks for the headz up...might be good Karma btw. 🤐
Sounds like a great book… yes to learn electronics properly, you need to read, ask questions from EXPERIENCED people.., listen, experiment, make mistakes except hurt yourself but then the odd shock often serves as a good reminder but don’t go seeking them!!!
Good review, I like how you flicked through the pages and paused on interesting parts. I have a good idea now this book would be a good reference to have on my shelf. I am technician from the 80’s. I studied most nights for many years back then but lost a lot of those skills, now a hobbiest I want to develop a much more in depth understanding. This will be a great retirement hobby for me and I am sure many others.
THis book here makes a wonderful desk refference. Like you said... "Encyclopedia." However, I don't think it should be read from cover to cover on its own. A lot of newer beginner hobbyist make the mistake of using a book like this as a guided tour. Mind you... it is probably the greatest book to accomadate any tutorial or project. As it will give you the full scoop on everything a turorial and its parts. On its own its a really heavey read.
Thank you for this insightful review. Your thorough analysis of the electronic books’ features and benefits is greatly appreciated. It provides valuable guidance for those of us looking to make informed decisions on our next read. Well done.

It gives the Confidence and ground work to Understand and walk into depths of Electronics. After 50 years I still keep it at the top of my library.
I prefer practical electronics over the art of electronics, it’s more straightforward and readable. Also, The Theory and Servicing of AM, FM, and FM Stereo Receivers by Clarence Green and Robert Bourque is a great book.

Art of electronics is more-so a bible for electronic *circuits*, both simple and more complex. It also deals with all the edge-cases and practicalities of real-world components a lot, rather than just their idealised theoretical versions (although you can't understand the practicalities without having some understanding of the theory underpinning first!). It's a good companion to this one. Linear regulators are definitely still on the market! Switching regulators tend be very problematic for low noise electronics.
I have an older edition, and I would happily buy newer editions. I just haven't managed to buy an update because of an ongoing illness. But even the older edition is a great book - it just seems to have comments on things you might not expect to find in it but suddenly find yourself needing that thing. It gives you just enough on little advanced things and solid background and reference materials, all with atypically good exposition and takes sensible positions on issues other texts might avoid (like tubes, as you mention - among many other things). It is really well outlined and realized. Hard to complain about this choice: it is a gem among practical introductions for people who want to get to grips with electronics in a hurry to do real work.
Thanks for putting me on this gem. I want to have a good real life background before I have to do any more formal electronics stuff for school (aerospace eng)

This is seriously an insane good book. Im not even an EE but its amazing. Bought it Barnes amd Nobles too - they almost never have good technical books
@krlabs5472 thanks for sharing! Analog Dad here getting into electronics with my daughter- thank you for the reference and review- I am tired of finding arduino and raspberry stuff- I want to build from scratch. Not a musician, but I can certainly appreciate your taste, flavor and the G# vid is great (daughter is in piano so it matched up with a topic she needed!) Once again- SUBSCRIBED and thanks from a frustrated Ol' Skool Dad just wanting to make with IC chips, resistors and the basics!
I love that book! But there is another in my top tier with it, maybe even edging out this book: How to Diagnose and Fix Everything Electronic, by Michael Jay Geier It contains so much information and intuition regarding what tools you should have, how to use them, and how to THINK through problems and systems. It’s an absolutely amazing book.
This is the good stuff. Despite being in middle school when I read it, I was able to absorb plenty of knowledge from this book. It is good because you can start from a range of different backgrounds, and still learn from it. For instance, in the early parts for much of the theory they give you the big fancy calculus but also explain things such that you can understand the concepts without having even taken trig.
Thanks for posting this! I got “into” electronics as more than a user earlier this year with becoming an Amateur Radio operator….Ham. Anyway, it is clearly obvious one must be nearly an electronics whizz if doing this “hobby” well. I’ll be ordering it to learn more and keep as a reference. Keep the videos coming!
I'm in Electrical Network Analysis right now and I'm realizing a lot of the basics were poorly explained to me. So I just bought this book. Hoping it helps!
Yep 78 series regs are still on the menu and still delicious if baked into the circuit correctly, Mmmm ! we are not exactly talking about nostalgia here as the PWM based power supply's you describe are 'switched mode' the good old 7805 however is part of a linear supply and is far and away better if you want a low noise environment for example audio.
Well whether its music, electronics, or aviation its all centered around physics. So while I have background in many different areas they all have the same center.
Lmao, I suck at math and engineering - really bad - but I've always wanted to understand it. I will, one day, and I bought this tome in Barnes and Noble like 8 years ago just because I could. Glad to see this
Same regarding math and algebra. I could do the work but I just never 'got' it. I couldn't hold onto it because for some reason my brain needs to map it visually and correlate it to something to make stick. I never could find the something, I guess.
Same. I have owned the third edition of this book for years, but I barely touched it as the mathematics was beyond me. I've been slowly brushing up on my maths with the likes of Khan Academy and Brilliant, but at heart I'm just an idiot who aspires to be a savant. 😁
@@rfphillMe too. As I mentioned to OP I've been trying to brush up on my maths online, I recommend it. My problem is I may learn something and finally get that 'lightbulb moment', only to come back to it not long after and find I've already forgotten it. I think the trick is to grasp the concept, move on and only aspire to truly memorise the stuff that we actually intend on applying. If I figure out calculus then great, but I'm pretty sure it's possible to get an understanding for amplifier circuits without it. At this stage of life I don't plan on carving out a path as an electronics engineer, just enough knowledge to tinker and (at least somewhat) know what I'm doing.
Wow thank you, I've been struggling to get deeper into my builds. I'll pick this up but you also mentioned some of the stuff was old info and newer tech was used. Any suggestions on the newer stuff?
@CorvusCorps that you will have to discern from experience. When you shop for a part that is obsolete you will be given a suggested part. It will like be much smaller. Read the datasheet figure out how to use it.
I had a carbon copy of this book like 20 yrs ago. 😄 Very enjoyable read. It is easy for beginner to comprehend partical side of electronics components and how to assemble them into something useful or even amazing (limited by your imagination and depth of pocket only 😂). If you study physics in depth during high school (with all the math of circuits, ohm's law, calc of cap and impedance, derviation of formula, etc), its content is really easy to grasp and acting as a stepping stone from formula, theories to practical products (or little projects to amaze your friends 😁). The only thing it is lacking：how to “flash” or UV-etch your own copper line PCB with chemicals & transparent sheets printed with B/W laser printer and How to use software to route yoir circuit properly. Note：Not sure if they include the missing pieces in later editions. It was 20yrs ago after all.
Glad to hear that, just purchased it to brush up. I worked as a marine electronics technician after doing a radio mechanic apprenticeship back in the 80’s, now i want to get back into it for a hobby. It’s taking some time to build my workshop, and so far the book looks good. Probably all I need for now, also have books on raspberry pi and python, can’t get into electronics these days without microcomputer and python knowledge.
@KR Labs thanks for the useful review. Just FYI I checked and the pronunciation for capacitor should be more like “kuh pa suh tr” and tantalum versions are common than titanium.
Excellent book. I found it in the library and bought it immediately.

I’d also now recommend the Patent Agent Exam, because I think AIs will clog the system. Beware of Alice if patenting software.
thank you for posting
ARRL handbooks are pretty versatile. If you want to get in depth, the electronic engineers handbook is the one. About 2000 pages
Got a link or cover Pic?
Thanks from Brasil that's all i need!
Yep, have the copy with the purple cover and it's how I learned electronics
The Art of Electronics by Paul Horowitz is my favorite book. But this looks like a great book as well
That book is excellent and one of my favorite. Microelectronics by Beaman is another one, a bit classic though.
I have AoE in all possible editions, that's all you need :)
@@iz8dwf Is AoE exhaustive? It doesn't contain chapter on ICs, and SoCs currently used in market.
@@kumardigvijaymishra5945 Yes, it contains chapters on computers, IC's and microcontrollers. I haven't seen SoC's, though.
@@englishrupe01it's chapter on microcontrollers are dated in bad need of updating 😢. But AoE is still going strong on analog electronics.
At 29:17 the c2 capacitor is inverted. and c6 also.
@@Leandro_ yes good catch!
This is seriously an insane good book. Im not even an EE but its amazing. Bought it Barnes amd Nobles too - they almost never have good technical books
I like your energy homie! I'll check out this book! Glad to hear, even just (the) voice of anoda...
@krlabs5472 thanks for sharing! Analog Dad here getting into electronics with my daughter- thank you for the reference and review- I am tired of finding arduino and raspberry stuff- I want to build from scratch. Not a musician, but I can certainly appreciate your taste, flavor and the G# vid is great (daughter is in piano so it matched up with a topic she needed!) Once again- SUBSCRIBED and thanks from a frustrated Ol' Skool Dad just wanting to make with IC chips, resistors and the basics!
I just bought this book at a Micro Center for $45, expensive but don't regret it at all. It's a fantastic read!
I've read 'electrical principles' by Jennsion and Harper.
Its good for electricians and workers.
Still a lot of engineering information inside
Thank you for sharing this!
I love that book! But there is another in my top tier with it, maybe even edging out this book:
How to Diagnose and Fix Everything Electronic, by Michael Jay Geier
It contains so much information and intuition regarding what tools you should have, how to use them, and how to THINK through problems and systems. It’s an absolutely amazing book.
Thank you so much for sharing!
I've been thinking about learning about electronics lately, and for some reason this video popped up in my feed. I ordered the book, it looks great!
I have never heard of these books in my country, thanks man
Thanks to You ❤
This is the good stuff. Despite being in middle school when I read it, I was able to absorb plenty of knowledge from this book. It is good because you can start from a range of different backgrounds, and still learn from it. For instance, in the early parts for much of the theory they give you the big fancy calculus but also explain things such that you can understand the concepts without having even taken trig.
Thanks for the tip! I'm going to take a look at this. Looks like a great companion to the ARRL Handbook. Subscribed!
Thank you 🙏
obrigada! ❤❤❤
The best I’ve ever owned. Only book I’ve ever recommended to strangers before.
Great book!
Thanks for posting this! I got “into” electronics as more than a user earlier this year with becoming an Amateur Radio operator….Ham. Anyway, it is clearly obvious one must be nearly an electronics whizz if doing this “hobby” well. I’ll be ordering it to learn more and keep as a reference. Keep the videos coming!
Almost 5 mins of praise without even the first reason why you need this book.
He uses it as a reference book, because it contains both electronic examples & physics explanations.
Only read through the first bit so far, but it is a very comprehensive book.
Best book 🎉
Fastest subscribe of my life
AARL handbook is a must have too!
I hear
I'm in Electrical Network Analysis right now and I'm realizing a lot of the basics were poorly explained to me. So I just bought this book. Hoping it helps!
Picked this up at Goodwill about 10 years ago.
def gona get myself a copy. i enjoyed the video too, id love to see more videos from you on electronics and circuits and such...
Yep 78 series regs are still on the menu and still delicious if baked into the circuit correctly, Mmmm ! we are not exactly talking about nostalgia here as the PWM based power supply's you describe are 'switched mode' the good old 7805 however is part of a linear supply and is far and away better if you want a low noise environment for example audio.
Awesome! What an incredible trip. I’d love to ship from Halifax to Iceland then ferry to the Faroe Islands someday
How come you have such a wide range of expertise . Physics , electronics and musical instruments .
Well whether its music, electronics, or aviation its all centered around physics. So while I have background in many different areas they all have the same center.
Miyomoto Musashi in his Book of Five Rings, "from one thing know ten thousand"
Ordered a copy!
Amazing
Found this book lying around in my physics lab ajd have started learning electronics from it
29:16 The linear 3 pin regulators are still used today, even some in SMPS.
Sheesh that book sounds so good I gotta get it !!
Lmao, I suck at math and engineering - really bad - but I've always wanted to understand it. I will, one day, and I bought this tome in Barnes and Noble like 8 years ago just because I could. Glad to see this
Same regarding math and algebra. I could do the work but I just never 'got' it. I couldn't hold onto it because for some reason my brain needs to map it visually and correlate it to something to make stick. I never could find the something, I guess.
Same. I have owned the third edition of this book for years, but I barely touched it as the mathematics was beyond me. I've been slowly brushing up on my maths with the likes of Khan Academy and Brilliant, but at heart I'm just an idiot who aspires to be a savant. 😁
@@rfphillMe too. As I mentioned to OP I've been trying to brush up on my maths online, I recommend it. My problem is I may learn something and finally get that 'lightbulb moment', only to come back to it not long after and find I've already forgotten it.
I think the trick is to grasp the concept, move on and only aspire to truly memorise the stuff that we actually intend on applying. If I figure out calculus then great, but I'm pretty sure it's possible to get an understanding for amplifier circuits without it. At this stage of life I don't plan on carving out a path as an electronics engineer, just enough knowledge to tinker and (at least somewhat) know what I'm doing.
Wow thank you, I've been struggling to get deeper into my builds. I'll pick this up but you also mentioned some of the stuff was old info and newer tech was used. Any suggestions on the newer stuff?
@CorvusCorps that you will have to discern from experience. When you shop for a part that is obsolete you will be given a suggested part. It will like be much smaller. Read the datasheet figure out how to use it.
I had a carbon copy of this book like 20 yrs ago. 😄 Very enjoyable read. It is easy for beginner to comprehend partical side of electronics components and how to assemble them into something useful or even amazing (limited by your imagination and depth of pocket only 😂). If you study physics in depth during high school (with all the math of circuits, ohm's law, calc of cap and impedance, derviation of formula, etc), its content is really easy to grasp and acting as a stepping stone from formula, theories to practical products (or little projects to amaze your friends 😁). The only thing it is lacking：how to “flash” or UV-etch your own copper line PCB with chemicals & transparent sheets printed with B/W laser printer and How to use software to route yoir circuit properly.
Note：Not sure if they include the missing pieces in later editions. It was 20yrs ago after all.
That's an excellent book. I really wish there was a hardcover option.
I own this book, I’ll have to really dive into it
I would call The Art of Electronics as the holy grail.
Glad to hear that, just purchased it to brush up. I worked as a marine electronics technician after doing a radio mechanic apprenticeship back in the 80’s, now i want to get back into it for a hobby. It’s taking some time to build my workshop, and so far the book looks good. Probably all I need for now, also have books on raspberry pi and python, can’t get into electronics these days without microcomputer and python knowledge.
@@stephenmorris3696 which python books have you found useful so far?
Thank You
THANK YOU!!!
@KR Labs thanks for the useful review. Just FYI I checked and the pronunciation for capacitor should be more like “kuh pa suh tr” and tantalum versions are common than titanium.
@ianscott2442 OK thanks for watching
I have one, great book!
