Summary: Its ok, but not enough detail
Rating: 2
This book is a really easy read (not unexpected from a "For Dummies" book). It gives a very good overview on the subject and covers a lot of ground (e.g. how to get a company to make up your own PCBs; how to use an oscilloscope etc). For me though it just isn't detailed enough in the basics. I am a complete novice and hoped to be able to start building some basic circuits of my own from this book. I now understand at a high level what all the basic components do, and can construct a circuit from a schematic. I do not however feel I have enough information to design a circuit of my own beyond the very very simple.
Often schematics are presented with only cursory explanations of how they work. This did not help me really get under the covers of what was going on, and understand why the circuit behaved as it did.
The book is clearly written for an American audience, with lots of hints and tips about where to source supplies from in the US. Completely meaningless to me in the UK! I found this quite irritating after a while.
In summary its ok if you want a high level look at the subject. If you want more than that though I'd look elsewhere. I have just ordered another book, to see if I get any further with that one.
