    • Excellent Subject Matter Rendered In Turgid Prose

      I'd give this book about three and a half stars--not because it's not jam-packed with information, but because the wealth of information in the pages is tied up in turgid, unnecessarily stilted prose. I'm not sure why Whittaker uses this voice, but it makes simple topics less simple. The projects are reasonable; not that I tried them, but the component circuits will certainly shed light on what I AM building at some point. "Cohesiveness" is probably what the book lacks. The topics don't flow naturally together as they should.

    • The Tab Guide to Vacuum Tube Audio

      This is a good book to sharpen your skills with many commercial amplifier models available and audio amplifiers. I would recommend this to a more skilled technician and some advanced Beginners. Nice read, and the diagrams are large enough to read 90% of the component values clearly. I recommend this book!
