When I bought this book I foolishly neglected to check the publication date. Although there is a lot of useful information, it is badly out of date in several places. In particular the chapter on using PCs to aid the design process is notable because it discusses the use CGA graphics !
It must have been good in 1993, but give it a miss in 2004.

I never had any interest in making a printed circuit board, but I now have a need for one. I'm upgrading the electronics in an old classic sports car, and need a Pulse Width Modulator circuit. So how DOES one make a printed circuit board? This book shows you.
