Thread: If I go to the bookstore/library what title...

possibly an "electronics for dummies" book, if it exists.
books on power supply design,
basic electronics textbooks,
electronics starter kits (i.e. books with small projects included),
etc...

im sure there are tons of books on the topic. best bet would be to set aside some time and head out to the bookstore and have a good look around.

also, have a look around online, there are lots of sites that deal with basic (and advanced) circuit designs.
