Any opinions on this one (being a 4th edition, it seems to have been
around a while).
I recently added it to my "wish list".

I'm open to alternatives.

I wasn't too fond of it. It's much too bulky to be a good reference and
too referency to be much of anything else.

That book just happened to show up under my tree today. I agree that
it's very bulky; it deserves a hard cover instead of the flimsy one it
has. But it seems fairly though and it is set with a nice (readable)
sized type. I like that it offers a better glimpse into the basic math
then the book I have been reading, "Introduction to Electronics" by Andy
Cooper. I'm pretty sure I would recommend the "inventors..." book over
that one. It seems to be more eager to help you to "get your hands
dirty". So that makes me ask, which book do you prefer (and why)?
