Practical Electronics for Inventors
(Fifth Edition)

This is the book we wish we had when we started. It bridges the gap between heavy theoretical textbooks and shaky hobbyist tutorials. It is 1000+ pages of "how it actually works." New edition to be revised and authored by Chris, due out in late 2027.
