      There are too many reasons! The easy guess, 1) not all ppl want others to be smarter than them and, in general, 2) not all ppl are familiar with knowledge, unless they have grown and became savvy. My dad lack all the knowledge I have got now (which is NOT a great thing) but he led me to achieve all the stuff, the means, studies and experiences he facilitated, because he was smart, yet not well-educated (since grandma also lacked university degree, as millions who grew from poverty and other limitations). Most ppl work to get food, housing and clothing (we're all compelled to that) but the 2nd generation has always being blessed with the HARD job of their predecessors, and FEW are thankful for the means God has given all us.

I even cited this book as a reference for some of my school assignments and discussion posts.

I'm also an avionics technician at work, so I bring this book with me on the job sometimes.

    Art of electronics is more-so a bible for electronic *circuits*, both simple and more complex. It also deals with all the edge-cases and practicalities of real-world components a lot, rather than just their idealised theoretical versions (although you can't understand the practicalities without having some understanding of the theory underpinning first!). It's a good companion to this one.
    Linear regulators are definitely still on the market! Switching regulators tend be very problematic for low noise electronics.

    I have an older edition, and I would happily buy newer editions. I just haven't managed to buy an update because of an ongoing illness. But even the older edition is a great book - it just seems to have comments on things you might not expect to find in it but suddenly find yourself needing that thing. It gives you just enough on little advanced things and solid background and reference materials, all with atypically good exposition and takes sensible positions on issues other texts might avoid (like tubes, as you mention - among many other things). It is really well outlined and realized. Hard to complain about this choice: it is a gem among practical introductions for people who want to get to grips with electronics in a hurry to do real work.

      @@louvoodoo Unusual. I was to be an academic and did a double PhD program in computational neuroscience and philosophy. I do scientific philosophy. Since childhood I also had many invention ideas. And as I learned more science several a week. List is about 1,500 (some duplications, some invented by others). As an academic I did scientific philosophy with practical applications including font enhancing techniques (used by Apple, I did not patent) and in 2000 a version of Uber for the city of San Diego. Then I developed two health problems including a rare, deadly heart disease and had to leave ABD with a CPhil. I was sick for a decade. And inventing turned out to be best path. And I had some luck with an early patent,
      but bad luck before I got a better grasp of the system. I avoid VCs and know a lot of science as neuroscience attracts polymaths because it requires lots of science to explore brain. So my physicist, biology, computer science including of course AI is strong, chemistry passable, applied math good (and really most of what I do).
      Read:
      Patent it Yourself
      Read many patents in your area
      Understand claims and write claims first then the specification.
      Use AI to augment powers.
      Beware of anything that is manufactured. If not already basically just a matter of assembly you need $2m.
      Patent writing is hard.
      I would now advise people
      to become patent agents and take the exam.
      The poor and middle
      class have no money. Focus on B2B and luxury.
      Be paranoid. But still tak to other inventors.
      Learn drop shipping.
      Read licensing contracts.
      Study semiotics and influence or sales books. Cialdini is the best. Then Heath brothers.
      Understand everything yourself. Eventually delegate. But this is hard. No one is better than me so far at key stuff.
      Learn to ramify an invention. This takes most of the creative time, often first use idea is not most profitable.
      Finally Edison is wrong in turns of time, it is worse
      than he said,O.1% inspiration and 99.9% perspiration. Don’t let VCs tell you this Edison ratio reflects the value of the two acts.
      Good luck, and don’t quit your day job.

    I had a carbon copy of this book like 20 yrs ago. 😄 Very enjoyable read. It is easy for beginner to comprehend partical side of electronics components and how to assemble them into something useful or even amazing (limited by your imagination and depth of pocket only 😂). If you study physics in depth during high school (with all the math of circuits, ohm's law, calc of cap and impedance, derviation of formula, etc), its content is really easy to grasp and acting as a stepping stone from formula, theories to practical products (or little projects to amaze your friends 😁). The only thing it is lacking:how to “flash” or UV-etch your own copper line PCB with chemicals & transparent sheets printed with B/W laser printer and How to use software to route yoir circuit properly.
    Note:Not sure if they include the missing pieces in later editions. It was 20yrs ago after all.

    This is the good stuff. Despite being in middle school when I read it, I was able to absorb plenty of knowledge from this book. It is good because you can start from a range of different backgrounds, and still learn from it. For instance, in the early parts for much of the theory they give you the big fancy calculus but also explain things such that you can understand the concepts without having even taken trig.
