      When I see the word 'inventor', this is the only thing I think of

    • jv on 10/01/2017 - 23:13

      I have all three…. (somewhere….)

      • theguyrules on 10/01/2017 - 23:26

        I hope you built all of the gadgets?

        • jv on 11/01/2017 - 01:19

          Most of them…

  • INFIDEL on 10/01/2017 - 21:02

    What's the normal price to make this a bargain rather than an Interesting forum discussion?

  • ElusiveA on 10/01/2017 - 21:13

    Nice finds.

  • BigLeviathan on 10/01/2017 - 21:57

    I thought these days people just YouTube it?

    • jv on 10/01/2017 - 23:14

      How do you 'YouTube' a book?

      • theguyrules on 10/01/2017 - 23:25

        Look up a video of someone reading the book aloud.

    Thanks… It's captivating reading….

    "Many hobbyists feel intimidated by the oscilloscope, but it is the best buddy any tech can have. Repeat after me: “My scope is my friend.” Come on, say it like you mean it! Once you get the hang of using one, you will love it, I assure you."

  • montorola on 11/01/2017 - 01:47

    Thanks OP, bought them both

  • donm on 11/01/2017 - 01:52

    I just looked at Google Play and Amazon AU, and Practical Electronics for Inventors is showing as $28.30 for me. The other book is still cheap.

  • INFIDEL on 11/01/2017 - 16:56
