I'd be willing to shell out for this book, if it's
that good -- but I have a question (since you describe
it as a good introductory text). I recently finished
an EE degree and after designing a few PCBs have found
that a lot of PCB/circuit design relies on knowing
little tricks, simplifications, and circuit building
blocks that have already been designed and are well
understood. Since we tended to focus on device
operation and circuit analysis, I wind up wasting time
designing complex circuits only to listen to my boss
chuckle as he shows me the "well-known three resistor
solution."  So my question is, given that I still have
all of my engineering textbooks, is this book a
worthwhile resource for the practical hands-on stuff
or would I be better off just reviewing the books I
have and reading through circuit archives on the
Internet?

Thanks,

Todd.
