Electronics reference book?

Grindstone Cowboy

The reasonable priced ones on E-Bay are first edition, yellow/orange cover, so rather long in the tooth now.

Abe Books shows one second edition, black cover, at just under £17 plus £4 post and packing. Says Ex Library so likely to have some foxing and page loosening as its a very low price.

Thanks Clive - there's always a catch

This web site is not a reference book as such but contains copies of hundreds of electronic magazine articles and projects. **LINK**

One thing I dislike about "The Electronics Handbook" (1st edition at least) is the paper quality. It is ultrathin. That added to a very thick book makes it a pain to use and easy to damage. This is probably done because of the amount of information they fitted in a single volume.

Thanks for the link Paul. I took Practical Electronics for about 20 years and eventually got rid of the collection during a house move. Looking through this lot will certainly bring back some memories.

Anthony,

One of my previous hobbies was electronics and used to buy Electronics Today International (Australia) and I also got rid of my collection of magazines. It's going to take a while to read thru the 100+ ETI magazines, Then there are ALL those others from other countries

Paul.

Hi, I've been using that web site that Pul has linked too for a few years now. I started reading Practical Wireless sometime in 1972, while my elder brother was reading Practical Electronics already, and we used to read each other's, but he died during November 1973, so I only got Practical Electronics after then if there was anything in it that I had any real interest in, but continued to get PW, and then had selective ETI magazines around 1975. These all more or less stopped when I got married in 1980, but I lost all those that I had during my divorce, and so I've downloaded many of the ones that I can remember having, plus one or two Bambini books that I also lost. I have though, contributed a couple of things to that site.

Regards Nick.
