I’ve enjoyed your books for years and it’s a pleasure to see you up on the mountain each year. I saw your name in a Radio Shack email and couldn’t resist checking this out and submitting a Hello. I enjoyed reading this Q&A page.
Aloha,
Darryl

I’m sitting here looking at a stack of 8 Engineer’s Mini-Notebooks and your Getting Started in Electronics book written in the Archer days.
I’ve been enjoying them for years and continue to cherrish them.

Great interview. All the fundamentals I learned from the green book (Getting Started in Electronics).

And after all of these years I still have the book with the yellow cover.

Again, Thank you Sir..

For the meantime, if you open any one of our emails, there’s an UNSUBSCRIBE link at the bottom – that’s the best way to be removed.

THANK YOU! I have worked in experimental physics research all my life, with several patents in opto-electronics to my name. When I want to check out a new idea by building a prototype, I always turn to your Mini-Notebooks first for ideas for the building blocks. Then I just go build it. I have a well worn, annotated set of 6 notebooks (RS CatNo 62-5010 (through -15)) that cost me $1.99 each – some of the best investments I ever made!! I loved the comment on the failures of PhD CP DIY’s.
Ricky, Thanks for doing the interview!
Keep up the great work!

Best regards,
Mike

Jackson Wed, 17 Aug 2011 15:59:17 +0000 http://blog.radioshack.com/?p=760#comment-5865 I have used “Getting Started in Electronics” as a “text” book for beginning “Tom Edisons” in my neighborhood. I am a retired EE and find Forest Mim’s booklets very interestng and valuable. They have starated several young men on life careers.
Thank Yu, Mims and Radio Shack
