Review: Best book for electronics introduction - This book is required for my beginners ECE class but I'm glad it is. Even after using it for a few days, its clear that the writer knows what he is talking about and offers several excellent examples for each concept. It will be a valuable tool for mastering harder topics, like LC3, and I will continue to use this book for classes to come. The book itself came in good condition and I don't have any quarrels with the shipping, great product!
Review: Purchased a used one for $19 - Ordered on 1/25. ETA said it would be 2/2. Was delivered 1/30. I need it for a computer architecture class. Bought it used from the seller Direct via FBA. Book condition I chose was: used- very good. Upon arrival it looks used- like new. Only minor paper frays and minor dents like on the tip of the book and on the bottom of the cover. No scribbles/highlights inside. Pages inside are crisp and clean. Book spine and lining intact and in immaculate condition. Thank you Direct via FBA!
