        I'm a lot like that bio student -- electronics is my hobby, and my 
academic training was split between bio and psych. 

        Books by Don Lancaster are extremely good. They are chock-full o' 
information, and easy to read. "TTL Cookbook", "CMOS Cookbook", and the 
"Micro Cookbook"s are usually available at larger bookstores. Certainly at 
NYC bookstores. Lancaster also has a column in Radio-Electronics magazine.

        Forrest Mims has written about half a dozen booklets of 
experimenters' projects for Radio Shack; I think they are called "Engineer's 
Mini-Notebook" or something like that. They are a bit cheezy in production, 
but Mims is another good writer, and teaches the fundamentals very well, too.

        Have I missed any good books to suggest? Please post them -- I myself 
would like to read 'em! And good luck, Jeffrey Bromberger.
