Does anyone know what level of school Malvino's Electronic Principles is written for?
Is it high school level, or 2yr junior college, or 4yr college?
To me, it reads like a high school book. It is laid out just like my granddaughter's 7th grade science book. Where is this book used?

 

I read somewhere that all textbooks in North America are written to a senior high school reading level. If you are referring to the "colorful" short sections of the new edition, I agree with you, in some ways more distracting than anything, but is written for short attention spans I think. In this neck of the woods it is a first year college electronics book, but may be a high school one also, that I don't know.
