2004 has been a terrific year so far for the TAB Electronics/Robotics line of books. Electronics hobbyists and students are buying more books than ever, and we've had a LOT of success with some of our early project books (our new "Evil Genius" series is doing particularly well). By adding projects and sample problems to this great seller, we should have an even stronger potential to sell this book like crazy. The first edition of Practical Electronics for Inventors was phenomenally successful and popular among electronics hobbyists and "tinkerers." This is a fairly "tight" group, and when they noticed some errors in the book, they were fairly vocal in wanting to see errata. The result? A new and improved book that has been completely updated, with several readers' suggestions for improvement incorporated inside - errors have been fixed, drawings replaced, new information included, whole new sections added (modern computers, object-oriented microcontrollers, transducers, projects, etc.), as well as sample problems placed at the end of each chapter. These new additions will make this title even MORE appealing to the loyal market.
