Howdy,
Can anyone out there suggest an electronics book that covers the little
practical details that not only make a circuit work, but work well? I made
an amplifier for my sister's keyboard, but right now I would put it's fidelity
at low to med, (about the quality you get from a cheap portable tape player:
a little hum, signal breaks up here and there). I've talked to people to
solve the amplifier's specific problems; what I would like is a book that
serves as an experienced EE in a can, (with holes in it). Please E-mail
any suggestions to akellett@csm9a.Mines.Colorado.EDU . I will summarize
the results and post.
Thank You,

The Art of Electronics, second edition, by Horowitz and Hill, is an excellent practical electronics book. I think it beats the Radiotron Designer's Handbook.

On electronics books I'd also suggest the ARRL handbook. A bit focused but inexpensive & interesting.

This is reviewed in the 3/90 issue of Scientific American.
