Horowitz and Hill is an excellent book to have, very practical
and hands-on.

Another good book is Bob Pease's "Troubleshooting Analog
Circuits", which covers far more than mere troubleshooting.  In
my opinion a better title for it would be "How to Build Stuff so
It Will Work."

Also, the major semiconductor houses, especially National
Semiconductor, Linear Technology, Analog Devices, have extensive
collections of application notes that have a lot of good,
practical information in them.
