great book!

This is a great book, but be warned that the paper back has more than one volume! The hard cover is all in one book.

Different than Sedra and Smith

I found this text to be geared more toward the electrical engineer who is not going to fabricate IC's, but rather use them. It is not quite as hefty as Sedra and Smith, but it is easier to follow, in my opinion. It is the first book I would go to as a reference.

Very Thorough Text

The problems and exercises in the book are POORLY constructed:In order to solve a problem, you may very well have to constantly flip back and forth between pages because the author was too cheap to put a simple diagram on the same page as the problem.I.e."Use Figure P2.30 and the V-i characteristic in figure 2.550 to solve for the circuit values in Figure 2.75, with R=25k ohms ...."That would involve flipping back and forth between a lot of pages.However, the problems are very thorough and cover a great deal of the subject w/o wasting too much time. For various circuits, the author goes directly to Thevenin Equivalent circuits rather than showing a concept using a dozen or more different circuits.
