Depends really what aspect of electronics you're looking for and what methods work for you. I'm a student reading Electronics Engineering so have access to a whole library of books on the subject. The best piece of advice that I've been given is to read in a book about a topi that you understand well; if you understand the authour on this topic, the chances are you'll also understand the authour's style when reading more complex topics. The following are two very general books that I've found useful:

Electronic devices and circuit theory / Robert Boylestad, Louis Nashelsky 8th Ed. Upper Saddle River, N.J. : Prentice Hall, 2002 Circuits, devices, and systems : a first course in electrical engineering / Ralph J. Smith, Richard C. Dorf 5th ed. New York : Wiley, 1992.

Hope that this helps, if you need more information, don't hesitate to contact.

Ed's absolutely right -- he's the best for beginners.

But look at Amazon under Forrest Mims. ;-)

Everything of his I've read has given me my money's worth and then some. His writing style and back-of-the-napkin drawing style are easily understandable to even total newbies.

If you have to choose only one book by Mims, pick "Getting Started in Electronics". If you need help with the math and schematics, get "Electronic Formulas, Symbols & Circuits".

By the way, the estimable Mr. Mims is still active in electronics, and he occasionally graces this newsgroup with his presence.

Cheers Chris
