✦ Synopsis

If your just starting out get Schaum's Basic Electricity - by Milton Gussow, for everything else GET THIS BOOK! It's very big and informative. It contains almost everything you could ever want to know. It's not for absolute beginners, but rather a comperhensive reference for intermediate and advanced people. In one word GREAT! You want be sorry!
