This book was written in 1979 to be used in conjunction with Radio Shack's Semiconductor Reference Handbook and other data books. The book is divided into two major sections: digital and linear. The chips in each section are organized according to function, not numerical sequence.

The nice thing about this book is that it looks like an engineer's notebook right down to the look and feel of hand-lettered comments, hand-drawn circuit diagrams, and grid ruling on 8.5x11", three-hole-punched paper. All that's missing is the smell of resin-core solder. ( )
