It is a very good textbook.

The classic H&H damn fine book.

richrussell · 28th Feb 2014, 3:09 pm

I've still got my copy from when I was at university in the early 1990s

Ed_Dinning · 28th Feb 2014, 9:46 pm

Hi Gents, a worthy precursor to H&H is Electronic Circuits by Mike Tooley. Very useful for those who find H&H a bit advanced. Unlikely to be on line though as it is quite a modern book.

Me too, cost £55 at the time I seem to recall.
I also have the spiral bound practical handbook that went with it.

Yes, an excellent book, still have mine and still use it occasionally. No valve stuff in it at all though!

When I was working in electronics R & D, Horowitz and Hill was considered pretty much to be the electronics reference book -- although we had at least one edition in the lab, so I never acquired my own copy.

It is a great book, though, and I would recommend anyone to snap up a copy if offered one.

mhennessy · 2nd Mar 2014, 2:10 pm

Mine is right next to me now. Cost £32.50 in 1992, IIRC.

After much anticipation, the 3rd edition is promised later this year:

Yes, it has its own Wikipedia entry!

Solid edition! Very practical

richrussell · 12th Mar 2014, 9:39 am

It's a pity there are sections missing from that PDF (like all of Chapter 1).

Perhaps that university hasn't noticed? It might be an unofficial edition. The file does include the copyrights notice page as well.

Anyway, it reads better on paper and the price to knowledge ratio makes it a bargain.

It's not one of those books you want for your bookshelf, it's one you want open on your bench.

I have chapter one as a 4M pdf file. I'm happy to send it to anyone who PMs me their email address.

Alistair D · 12th Mar 2014, 2:02 pm

PDFSAM(PDF Split And Merge) is an excellent freeware program that will easily add Chapter 1 to the rest of the document.
