The Best Electronics Books for #backtoschool

Whether you are a teacher, student, or just someone who wants to teach yourself electronics at home, there are a ton of great books to get you started.  Here is a small list of our favorite electronics books which we would recommend for your library.

The Art of Electronics is hands down, my favorite electronics book.  This book is not only filled with everything you need to know to get into electronics (and add to your electronics mind bank), it is also extremely easy to follow.  Paul Horowitz and Winfield Hill have put together a textbook that flows like a novel.  Highly recommended for anyone reading this blog.

Also be sure to check out the student manual for the above Art of Electronics book.  This manual will help you grasp the concepts of the book by giving you hands on projects to work on.
