Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This is the perfect book for gaining an understanding of the basics and the buzz words of today’s electronic world. It covers everything from the how and why of electronic components (parts) and circuits (parts connected together to perform a desired result) to symbols, schematic reading, meter and oscilloscope use, tools, and more. Did you know that a choke, coil, and inductor are all the same physical component and why it’s referred to with 3 different names? “Electronics for Dummies” is a book less on theory and more on practical. It includes breadboarding, creating projects and printed circuit boards–from 30-minute projects to a basic microcontrolled robot–all clearly explained and easily understood. After finishing this book, you won’t be a rocket scientist, but you certainly will have a basic understanding of electronics–enough to gain a confidence for further study or enough to be an informed component in today’s world of circuits.

⭐This was given as a gift!

⭐Very Useful and written for the layman. Glad it was my introduction to the subject.

⭐I purchesed this book and the line said that it was in good condition. It was not. The sides are all crincled, pages were folded where the person wanted to reference, and the cover and back had been bent as well. Other than that this book is great and covers all the way from the basics to even creating your own board to get use to things. I think this is a great buy for beginners if you want to know what to do to not blow things up on accident.

⭐Electronics for dummies is an easy read and covers very basic electronics principles, parts id, bench tools, multimeters, choosing an oscilloscope etc. Some easy fun circuit construction to get you started towards the end. If your interested in electronics and who isn’t these days, or just like to fix things then this is a book for you.

⭐Great fast fact book. Bought it for a relative who has just entered an electronics training program. After looking thought the schools textbook and its jumbled pedantic information, I found this book and my relative LOVES IT!!Has definitely made learning and reference checking much faster!

⭐good for dummies, like me……

⭐Good book for beginners

⭐As a complete novice I found this book extremely useful. It explains electricity and electronic logic in a simple, easy to understand way. BUT! I wish I had bought a hard copy instead of the Kindle version. On Kindle every time a word appeared in italics it is joined to adjoining words. Normally this might not be a problem but when the italicised text is used for technical names and they are joined to another word it becomes a little difficult. If only a little time had been taken to quality control the transfer to Kindle text.Other than that, brilliant book.

⭐I have recently decided to learn about electronics after doing amateur programming for the past few years with the goal of using Arduino and the like to design some basic robots and the like. This book is great to understand the principles of electronics but if you are intending to use a Raspberry pi or Arduino or similar then I would also recommend getting a book that specialises on covering those as well, which is what I have done. The book features quite a few example circuits at the end as well which is handy

⭐Spaces between words are kinda nice; and legible diagrams would also be helpful, especially in a book on electronics.

⭐In the kindle version someone didn’t do their job of spell checking, resulting in 5% of all the words in the book not being separated by [space]. meaning that every couple of sentences you’ll come across two words that are ‘welded together’, making for a very frustrating read. Kindle version is basically a broken product :/

⭐I have found that the kindle edition has numerous formatting issues. I makes the book difficult to read and thus reduces comprehension.
