Summary: Good book for beginner, but full of typos
Comment: Joe Carr has a very clear writing style and illustrates all concepts with simple circuits. His general approach is that of an electronics technologist educating a hobbyist or technician. He does a great job at this, but unfortunately devotes no effort to proof-reading. This third book in the series is still flawed by numerous mismatches between text and schematics, improper symbols, etc. This will be very frustrating for the novice and obscures the points involved. Mr. Carr obviously cares little for his own work, since he has not moved to correct these glaring errors in this series.

Summary: A good beginner's book but full of errors.
Comment: This is both a good book and a bad book for beginners on the subject of op amps. It's a good book because it presents the basics of op amp circuitry in a concise, straight forward manner without getting bogged down in a lot of theory and mathamatics, and it is well organized. However, it is a bad book because it is full of errors which even a moderately experienced reader might spot but which may confuse someone new to op amps. Errors like incompreshesible sentences, errors in equations, equation variables that don't match the circuit diagrams, missing figures, and wrong figures. Someone, probably non-technical, did a lousy job of proofreading.

I would not recommend this book to learn op amps. And if you can spot the mistakes, you already know op amps and you don't need this book either.
