You want books, cheap, secondhand and good condtion; but HOW? Well, whenever you pass a second hand store(Goodwill, Salvation Army and now there are so many Thrift Stores that benefit a particular Charity) go in and look at their bookshelf Books to look for are any ARRL Manual (why? because trons are trons and if you get the yearbook(no matter the year 1952-2008) It will be full of circuits and Tutorials on soldering, construction, power supplies, audo preamp, compressors, etc. (year boo is approx 2.5 inches thick) The one published each year is about $45 bucks(search ARRL website), but you CAN pickup one at a second hand store, charity event Ladies Auxiliary once a year event lawn sale, or any yard sale for probably under 5 bucks. And ARRL has Many other publications including one on op amp design. Also remember while you're ant the yardsale/second hand store to look for RadioShack's build a 35. or 101 or 301 electronics projects kit. It's a big seller at Christmas for $40.00 (see the radioshack website), but you can get it for $2.00 at a yard sale;Quite The Bargain for prototyping! Also, Most Large Public Libraries sell off books that don't circulate much; sometimes once a year at a bookfair, sometimes the have a room set aside that is taffed by a volunteer. I recently picked up what would have been $100 new or near new (second hand book store charge high prices) for $10. Remember tron theory that YOU wan to Learn hasn't change in 50 years, so these reference books WON'T ever become obsolete for you( the librarians think they are that's why the get rid of them).
