Customer Reviews

One of the great technical manuals of the transistor/IC age.

Of all the "how-to" books available to the neophyte working in the electronics hobby, this notebook by Forrest Mims is the standout. It originally issued many years ago and is still the standout reference for anyone working as an amateur in the field. I have been experimenting with electronics since 1952, when I got my first amateur radio license, and witnessed the transition from vacuum tubes to transistors and thence to ICs. I am immensely pleased that Mims' book is still available.

Forrest Mims Engineers Notebook

I used this book 15 years ago to make some freaky halloween costumes. I looked for years before I found it again. The circuits make learning or refreshing your electrical knowledge fun and rewarding. Buy this book, you won't regret it.

An excellent choice for the serious hobbyist

This book starts where Mims previous "Getting started in electronics" leaves off. this book is not a rehashing of his mini notebooks but is a serious effort to present the reader with many options and alternatives to his previous work. Mims gives great detail to areas that he just touched on before. My best advice is get and study "Getting started..." and then move into this book.

The Best "Quick Reference"

This is the Best Quick Reference that all Eng's and Hobbists must have on hand,it is the best friend of Electronic Students.It is part of my favorite collection.

A "must have" resource for hobbyists, engineers & scientists

This book answers both the "How does it work?" and "How can I build a circuit that will...?" questions for anyone involved in electronics, from the beginner electronics hobbyist to the seasoned engineer needing a quick circuit to solve a measurement problem. It includes and expands upon Forrest Mims' popular Engineer's Mini-Notebook Series that have been the mainstay of my reference collection for years. I liked my copy of the Engineer's Notebook so much that I ordered eight additional copies for other engineers and scientists I work with.
