I'll admit I haven't read the full thing, but I have and like Practical Electronics for Inventors, Fourth Edition

I second this, I have both this and art of electronics and they truly complete one another

Do you guys read the whole thing from start to finish or just look up things you want to understand more from time to time? It's like the thickness of LOTR, so that would take extraordinary patience.

LOTR wishes it was the density of AoE.

I use AoE as a reference, but I’ve read full chapters from time to time when I’ve worked on relevant projects. I’ve never done an end to end read. Maybe I will when I retire lol.

I want to set aside time to read chapter 5 at some point. The precision electronics chapter is supposed to be bomb. Culminates in a design review of the autoranging circuit of one of the common handheld DMMs.
