Old book shops. Look for bibani paperbacks. Even Clive Sinclair wrote some
of those. Difficulty now is finding the bits still made.

Constant volume amplifier was my favourite!

Think you do that mostly by reading.

Maplin did a pretty good book called Electronic Circuits - written before
everything was done on a chip. But does cover building block chips like op

your phone. ;-)
