My tentative recommendation would be Stuart Hoenig's "How to build and use
electronic devices without frustration, panic, mountains of money, or an
engineering degree", 2nd ed, Little Brown 1980.  This focuses heavily on
op amps, but it's still a pretty good book.  Don't know if it's still
in print, though.

Horowitz and Hill's "The Art of Electronics" is the definitive book on
the subject for non-EEs, but it's a lot more massive and formal.
