Do you have a photo of the cover or the ISBN number? I have seen at least three different ones over the years.

It depends on your projects. Over the years I have purchased the late Gordon McComb's books for inspiration and their tutorial value. But you will find more up to date information for free online. I have that particular book but it doesn't for example cover stepper motors which from another post I see you are interested in.

cover

ISBN: 978-0-07-175035-6

I have editions 2-4 in my library but only skimmed them. They came across as good references for scratch builders and book lovers. They are out of date (the author passed away in 2018) but probably still hold value. 


The one who has the most fun, wins!

@tfmccarthy I have 1-4, 1 is hardbound, the others are paperback, somewhere I have 4 in PDF. I would recommend them for beginners.
