Customer Review: Ripoff - Just a re-arranged version of previous editions

I use Floyd's books to teach electronics courses in a community college. They're OK books, but Floyd is one of those writers that just has to write new editions all the time, which forces students/instructors to buy new books. My students were just told by the bookstore that they can't return they're 6th edition for buyback, and they will now be forced to buy the 7th edition to complete the 2nd semester of their studies.



DC and AC circuits are basically the same now as they were twenty years ago. There is no need for constant revisions in such a slowly changing field. I have seen Floyd's books change over the years - the content is about the same, but each new edition just seems to be a bunch of re-arrangements and added fluff (like which calculator keys to hit, even though the pictured steps don't work on many calculators).



The small changes needed to a textbook, such as adding new Multisim files, should be done on a companion website, not in a new edition. The new editions seem like a gimmick to increase sales. I will be switching to a different author for future courses.

Customer Review: A good intoductory book to electric circuits

I found this book well written in a manner that was easily understood for new comers to the subject. The chapters are arranged in a proggresive manner compounding everything as it goes along. In my eyes,this book is a great way to learn the fundimentals of electic ciciuts.
