content: This has been available for a year or two now. Looks like it's just been updated to the fourth edition! It's a great little concise guide on many analog topics. You can even buy a spiral bound printed copy for $5!

content: This book is easily worth the $5, but how about free? If you attend any events where TI has a booth, you have a very good chance of scoring one as a handout

content: It would be great if they'd print up a bunch of these and sell them at cost as promo items.I remember buying a printed copy of their TTL Databook a few years ago. They were selling them for 10 cents with free shipping.

content: Oh! I see they have a sense of humor!Interesting book. Anyone did read it?I did take a fast look and found some missings: Why are resistors so detailed but other components such as TRANSISTORS (my biggest headache) and transformers not appear at all? Maybe my fast read after wake up made me miss information, not sure.Other than that, the book is clear. There's lots stuff I feel dumbass when reading it because lack needed knowledge, but other is better clearly explained than Forrest Mims books.

content: Quote from: timofonic on January 05, 2016, 03:49:44 pmGood comments. I read through it quickly and found it to be a good solid basic reference. I would have added a few more "standard" op amp configurations, but any "pocket" reference has to leave something out.Pass your comments on to TI and you might get a free hard copy of the next edition.

content: I don't have contact info. If I was looking for myself I would start with shortened versions of the url for the book. If that didn't pan out I would search out the nearest TI sales rep or engineer. And if that failed I would go to the main TI site and look for the contact us tab. Google and the web have spoiled all of us, but a little leg work almost always pays off.
