I'm looking for a copy of a book I used to have back in the 1980s. It
was orange, paperback, maybe 6x8 x 1/2 inches. I think the title was
just Electronics Cookbook. I don't remember who wrote it, maybe Forest
Nims.

Forrest Mims, maybe. He tended to call his stuff "scrapbook" or
"notebook".

Don Lancaster had a number of books with "cookbook" in the title.

And then there's Walt Jung's "IC Op-Amp Cookbook"
ISBN 0-13-889601-1

It had basic circuits: amplifiers, oscillators, etc. of different types.
There were 2 pages or so devoted to each circuit, the advantages,
disadvantages, how to optimize for different parameters, typical input
and output impedances. It was mostly linear/analog circuitry.

If I could find out the exact title and author's name, maybe an ISBN
number, I could look on eBay or Amazon or somwhere.

Anyone remember what the output impedance of a grounded-gate FET preamp
is? This book would have it.

Thanks,

Don Lancaster rings a bell, I'll try that.
