So many great concepts, lessons, and usable circuits in that book. That was one of my first books, and used the concepts learned, to build so many usable circuits.

The Getting started in Electronics was my first book, VERY handy book series, even if some info is not used to much anymore, but still ALWAYS good to have!!
