I was quite excited to find my copy waiting outside my door tonight. I am saving it for some bed time reading. I have been waiting about 20 years for this edition. When I was taking my electronics class in school my old-school professor said if you really want to learn electronics, get this book. I did get the second edition and really enjoyed it. As I do mostly software I don't use it much, but I keep hoping to do more hardware on the side eventually. Who knows, this might be the trigger.

I think I pre-ordered from the publisher Cambridge Press. I got home and it was leaning against the house. Nice Monday surprise.

yay.

I used the first edition. Skipped the second edition entirely as I knew the third was coming Real Soon Now.

I've been wanting to get back into hardware but have been delayed by my wait for this book.
