Customer Reviews

book arrival

The book Electronic Components arrived in a timely manner. I was happy with this service. The book also was a very good deal.

Great book for beginners

I bought this book for myself several years ago to give myself a head start on electronics before I started college, and I am glad I did. Not only was the book easy to read and understand, but it was also fun to read. I benefitted immensely from reading this book prior to college. In fact, I have loaned it to friends as an introduction to electronics, and even bought one for another friend. One of my favorite books. Explains a lot of important parts, and some important information which a beginner must know, such as Ohm's law.

This Book Delivers

I felt this book gave a clear understanding of the components that were listed. It wasn't too bogged down with technical jargon that you couldn't understand what was being written about the components. For me, this book provided valuable information that has helped me in my understanding components better than I did before I purchased and read the book. An example, for instance, was a drawing on an 8-pin opamp that I had been trying to find out what each pins function was. The drawing was clear, and defined each opamp pin with definitions. This was very helpful and useful in my analog electronics circuit building. Personally, I felt like the book was well worth the money. And now, I would not be without it in my library.

An excellent review and reference book for basic electronics

The book is an excellent basic reference book on electronic components. It would probably be a bit complex for someone without some background in electronics, but it is MUCH easier to understand than any electronics textbooks I have read
