I was cleaning out an end table in the den, and found this classic!

 

Cool, what is the year on the copyright?

 

Hi,
Seems that you were cleaning a great place. The book is related to 555 timer but circuit on the breadboard in the cover page has long DIP IC, double long than 8 pin DIP. Is that a classic version of 555?

 

Hello,

The show timer is likely an 556, the double 555.

It well might be an NE558 or NE556.

Edit: a 556. The quad 558 was 16 pins DIP. /Edit

You better be careful. Wendy may get jealous.

 

First Edition 1984

I'll have to dig mine out and see what I have. That was right about the time I bought several of them, so I might actually have a few first editions. Wonder if they would ever be worth anything.

 

Here's the first page...

I've got the entire collection... would you like to see it?

All 36 books? Wow!

I'm thinking I might have ten, give or take.

I'd be interested in seeing a full list of titles. I could probably track it down, but I've never had the gumption.

His Bibliography is huge and, while I suspect they are all listed there, the organization makes it a bit hard to be sure (since the titles used for Radio Shack were not completely consistent).

I'd love to get into his model rocketry telemetry articles -- if I had something resembling free time.

Maybe just a list and a few typical covers?

 

All I have is the Engineer's Mini-Notebook Op Amp IC Circuits 2nd Edition.

 

All 36 books? Wow!

36!!!???? EEEEEkkk!.... my bad then... I must have around 20 or 22... I gotta go find them and then I'll get back with a list, and maybe some pics...

36 is (according to one source) the number of books that Radio Shack commissioned him to write. I don't know how many of those were "officially" these "Engineer's Mini-Notebook"s. I'm pretty sure there were at least a few that were written in the same style but not part of that set.

This one is at our library. Same author, very different subject!
