These aren't great to be honest. I've scanned through them in the past and there's a ton of missing stuff. You can read these and know what stuff is and how it works but not how to use it or any practical concerns. This is just a collection of facts.

Would recommend The Art of Electronics (just grab the 2nd edition and the student manual - it's fine) or Practical Electronics for Inventors.

Also stay away from Mimms books[1] and Make stuff. They're mostly glossy crap that doesn't actually have any content and are chock full of mistakes.

If you want to wire shit to an arduino, don't buy a book, just google it.

[1] Yes I know this is controversial but I started there and had to unlearn it all. It's a bad foundation.
