New edition from Bowick, now together with Blyer en Ajluni, a gift from my parents
Knowledge does not come by itself, beside internet there are curious things named books. They are a good source of knowledge. This is a part of my collection.
The concepts range from Tektronix, made in the 60’s. On the picture a few of them. I have almost the complete series. PDF’s can be found on several locations. Like here
Good stuff.
Analog Circuit design van Dobkin en Williams. A nice collection sorted app notes. All can be downloaded but often you do not know which one. This is more easy. I have part one and two Analog Circuits, world class designes, written by experts chosen by the late, but great Bob Pease. Much about opamps and analog design. Not a book for starters.
Here the master himself at work, Jim Williams (April 14, 1948 – June 12, 2011) One of the best Analog designers ever.

The books that are open are from Frederick E. Terman, one of the greatest teachers, the man who teached Hewlett and Packard and motivated them to start a compagnie, the start of silicon valley. On top is the 1955 4th edition of electronic and radio enginering. The one under is RF measurements (1935). Even today a lot off valuable information about all the real important basics of measurements.
The 3rd edition
A gift from my dear friend Ken from the USA. Thanks Ken, it is beautifull.
Art of electronics
One of the best allround books is The art of electronics from Horrowitz & Hill
fundamentals on vector network analysis
For the VNA junky. For sale at R&S

Another great book of Pease. For the starter in repair and design, lots of info and written in the typical Pease style, so fun to read too. Picture: http://www.rfcafe.com/references/electrical/bob-pease-breadboard.htm
Nussbaum
For those who just started and want to get more out of their scope and SA or networkanalyser:
HF-Messungen für den Funkamateur part 1,2 and 3 but Nussbaum wrote more good books. Including one on network analyser basics
