E. A. Parr's spledid little book on this widely used chip cannot be too highly recommended. It is a little classic. All you need to know, and a whole lot more you never thought to ask is here. Simply described and with a host of practical information on building circuits using the 555

As with most books in this series - good, practical and full of easy to construct useful products. A bit dated now but still there for all the basic stuff.

Now rather dated, this excellent little book explores the versatile IC 555; how it works, what can be done with it and, importantly, what its limitations are. That's the good. The bad is that the book is now in the 19th reprint of the 3rd revise and a number of typos seem to have crept in e.g. "I"s substituted for "1"s and "O"s substituted for "0"s which can hinder one's understanding if not aware. Additionally, many circuit diagrams seem have migrated from their associated text into adjoining sections (presumably to save paper!). This is all rather irritating to the reader and detracts from the otherwise useful content. Still, a useful little book and my copy, with pencil corrections and annotations, is on my electronics "Reference" shelf.
