[geeks] Basic electronics books

[Steven Hill]

The Art of Electronics, Horowitz and Hill (No relation)
Good all round, goes in depth too. The in depth stuff can be very
scary, but I wouldn't let that put you off.

Analogue Electronics, Martin Reekie (Covers a lot of handy stuff, he
was my Director of Studies too...)

Electronics, Crecraft, Sparkes and Gorham

These were books I used for my first year EE and Electronics courses
at Uni. There's a lot of random stuff there, If I had to buy one, it
would probably be The Art of Electronics.
