The first edition Art of electronics was published in 1980. I bought it in
college.
The second edition came out in 1989 or 90. It had lots of extra stuff. It
was well worth the money I spent on it. I have 2 copies of this one ,1 in
work and a personal copy. If/when the third book comes out I'll buy it too.
For now the second edition is the one worth having.
