Good

The greatest beginning electronics book I ever had. Radio Shack now has these back in stock along with supplies for all the projects.

I had the individual notebooks when I was a kid. I found these compilations during one of my trips to Radioshack.

I really dig these books by Forrest Mims III. Of course, they aren't the be-all-end-all in electronics books, but they are great 'get-your-feet-wet books.
