Grob's Basic Electronics

This book is by far one of the best textbooks introducing the subject. The explanation is very clear and accessible, and the breadth covered is exactly right for the level it's targeted at.

Book came in good condition.

Excellent book for beginners. This book is a breeze if you are comfortable with basic algebra, but isn't so easy that you don't learn anything. This book is even suitable if you've taken your basic lower division electricity and magnetism physics class because this book focuses more on circuits rather then physics which is why I signed up for the class and got the book. If you aren't comfortable with basic algebra then you might want to try to either pick up Mathematics for Grob's Basic Electronics (which I haven't picked up but has good reviews) or pick up a math book. My only complaint is that with the more difficult and abstract concepts this book has very few or completely lacks any homework problems on those subjects and instead focuses on conversions. This may leave some people feeling a little lost on concepts such as magnetic flux, induced currents and voltage, hysteresis, and other subjects. All in all, this book will suit your needs if you have no experience with electronics or electricity and magnetism.

First about the delivery aspects. The book was delivered to me by Nizam Books @ Amazon. 1. Price offered was beyond excellent. ( 80 % discount) !!! 2. I guessed the book may be in just acceptable condition, but it was an untouched ex- library copy almost looked new. 3. Delivered before 3 days of schedule. The book doesn't make use of calculus. So may not cater the need of an undergraduate B. Tech or B sc. Course syllabus. But the book 1. Will perfectly suit a Diploma or Polytechnic course. 2. Bridge a gap between school and undergraduate course. 3. Will motivate strongly towards practical electronics. 4. Will refresh theory of basic electricity and basic electronics those who want without going into deeper physics. 4. Unlike other Indian reprints the book is very aesthetic and eye friendly text formatted. Bottom line : A must for all engineering students alongwith the regular textbooks.

This is a great instructional book, also makes a great reference book. A ton of examples and self-test problems.

If you are just starting to learn about electronics and no idea about it or if you are in doubt about the very basics of electricity..... This is the best book.... Don't think just go for it.
