My son, who is a Junior in CS at a school not on the net, is interested
in learning electronics without going back to ground zero with
engineering courses.  He has asked me  to recommend a/some book/s
in the hope he could pick things up for himself.
I have always felt that the presentation of basics in "The Radio
Amateur's Handbook" was one of the best I had ever seen.  It has,
however, been over 10 years since I last saw one and they are temporarily
out of stock everywhere local pending a new issue.
Do you folks agree with me?
Would you recommend something else as a starter?
Heathkit has a lot of very expensive courses. Anyone recommend any of
them in this case?
I will be happy to summarize replies if volume and interest so indicate.
Many thanks in advance.

It's the thought,if any, that counts.  Dick Grantges   hound!rfgZ
