If you know a bit of german, get yourself a copy of it.
You will love the in-depth explanations of the various
electronics compontents. Also you can use it to knock
out any burglar, should the need arise ;-)

True that. The AoE gives at least a nice overview of quite a few
electronics techniques. And probably not the worst thing you can
start with, when you are new to electronics.

That said, I kind of miss the amateur radio/electronics literature
that was so abundant in the 80s. They really did a good job of
introducing various circuits and how successfully build them if
you don't have any professional equipment.
