Review
"Listed as noteworthy book by Bill Schweber from EDN Magazine. This broad-ranging book teaches considerations you wish you knew about when you finished school and had a real project to work on but doesn't assume a simplistic problem-solution approach." - EDN Feb 2005

Should be on every electronic designer's bookshelf
When it comes to translating a paper design into a physical circuit you need this book. It addresses all the practical problems that you may come across and many that you had not thought about. All the things that you were never told about at college but prevent you making reliable, repeatable circuits are here.

An excellent book that every electronic engineer or student should have on his bookshelf and constantly refer to.

The Best....!!!!
Tim Williams is without doubt one of the best authors I have read on the subject of electronics. I use this book regularly for its depth of explanation, clarity, good diagramming and its focus on practical aspects of circuit design. This book as an accompaniment to Art of Electronics is the perfect combination for any electronics enthusiast. An excellent piece of work...!!!
