Query: mediocre title

This book does a good job covering the basics of transistor operation and basic amplifier configurations. There are a few other sections which are done well, but beyond that, the text is not a very pleasant read. Not enough examples is one issue. Some topics, such as oscillators, are only briefly covered, without any particular worked examples. Sometimes authors state that they are making an assumption, but fail to provide reasoning.In short, this one is ok for beginners, and it does it's job half decently, but I wouldn't recommend this as a reference, since it's not in depth and explanations are lacking in many places.
