If I have the following books,Practical Electronics for Inventors,and Basic Electronics, will the Art of electronics be necessary or should I say helpful?

  • Hi James,

    For the most part I agree with . I have read the 2nd and 3rd editions of Practical electronics for Inventors multiple times. I am in the process of reading AoE at this time.

    Since I am not an engineer but rather a self taught technician I perhaps come at these books from a different perspective. I find the AoE to be much more technical and theoretical than the PEfor I. I have found the PEfor I to be very useful but I have had to be cautious as the 2nd edition is rife with errata and the 3rd edition, while much better, still has unfortunate errata. The AoE is much cleaner of errata but the technical level makes it more difficult for "me" to translate it to practical circuits. If you understand everything in PEforI and want to move on to a more in depth look at electronics then AoE is for you.
