[time-nuts] [volt-nuts] The Art of Electronics

[Tim Shoppa]

Win Hill has been working on the 3rd edition for literally decades. I used
to exchange E-mails with him back in the 90's when the 3rd edition was
always "around the corner". Glad to see it has arrived!

My 2nd edition is very well-worn. Bought it in 1990. 25 years!!!
