Not An Audiophool
I still think Malvino is one of the very best book. I since lost my original book, I actually tried to buy another one few years ago and mistakenly bought the lab book. I am still going to buy one one day just for sentimental reason that it's the one that got me into my career. It's about the easiest book to read, I learn transistor with this book. Of cause I since studied a lot more advance books like the Integrated circuit by Grey and Mayer, Microwave Engineering by D Cheng etc. But Malvino still to me is the best and the material can go very far into design transistor circuits. Hell, if you study Malvino, then get the Power amp design book by Bob Cordell, you'll be very good in audio circuits.
I did a search for both books on the web. Electronic Principles 7th and 8th edition by Albert Malvino are available as free PDF's here
Bob Cordell's Designing Audio Power Amplifies must be paid for. If you want it as a paperback you will pay through the nose, $200 at Mcgraw Hill and over 300 on Amazon. I consider that crazy. I did find it as an E book here on Barnes and Noble for a much more reasonable $40.
Just thought I'd add that for anyone looking for them.
