Default Re: Chinese electronics and The Art of Electronics

I have to agree with MrBungle I have the 1st and the 3rd and I was amazed at how heavy the 3rd was, I have to sit at desk to read it compared with just about bedtime reading with the first.
In the interview with Paul I was interested about how it came about, i.e. it was written for someone who wanted to do something with electronics, and provided a guide book, whilst nearly every other book starts with theory, moves into maths and losses a large part of any potential readership, whereas with the Art of Electronics I can dip in and learn enough to fix or understand something, what it does and move on.
