Amazon logo Mims, Forrest. Engineer's Notebook. New York: McGraw-Hill, 1992. ISBN: 9781878707031. (Cookbook circuits for many applications. Little or no explanations.)

Amazon logo Cutcher, Dave. Electronic Circuits for the Evil Genius. New York: McGraw-Hill, 2004. ISBN: 9780071448819. (A different approach.)

Amazon logo Crecraft, D., and D. Gorham. Electronics. 2nd ed. Gloucestershire: Nelson Thornes, 2003. ISBN: 9780748760077. (Good introduction. Not as in-depth or comprehensive as Horowitz and Hill. A good middle-ground between Engineer's Notebook and Horowitz and Hill.)
