Am sooo sorry to hear this, life can be difficult at times can't it?

Thanks. Yeah, it can. It sometimes has ways of throwing curveballs you could never imagine, in your direction. All you can do is accept, adapt, and change to the current circumstances.

Oh you are kind - also scored an ex-library copy too, am dead chuffed, so many thanks for the link and the ISBN details, both appreciated. 

You are more than welcome. I'm pleased for ya. I know how pleased I was when mine arrived, and hope you are getting the same joy from your copy. Even though it's older, it's still a mine of information.

  sorry, my bad for not being clear enough. I thought you were only after the second edition, not the first! I only got the two numbers off the listings, and quoted them for folk to find the cheaper second editions. I thought your confusion earlier was over the Main book and the study guide. It didn't occur to me that you were looking for a first edition book!  I hope you get the right one in a few days.

Things I learned here and to be clear to folk following this.

1) there seems to be TWO ISBN numbering systems, a 13 digit one, and a 10 digit one.
2) The numbers I quoted from the listings, are the two ISBN numbers relating to "The Art Of Electronics, Second Edition"
3) The latest is the Third Edition , but it is considerably more expensive than the 2nd edition. (About 10x in my case)
4) There's a lab manual which is separate, and may be useful. And Also a new X Chapters being released.
5) I'm curious as to what the differences are between the First, Second, And Third editions.

Anyway, apologies @HobGoblyn, for the confusion.

Hehe, no worries, it was my fault. It would have taken me 20 secs to type in each ISBN no and check what I was getting.  I was so caught up in the book v study guide confusion, that it never occurred to me to double check the other number.

A quick google and there are a few ISBN checkers that show you what the book is.

I've now learnt there are two ISBN no's for each book

@LateLesley: (Anybooks have messed up my ex-Library book second-user order - it seems to have vanished into the ether and is now long-overdue    so when we saw this hardcover 3rd edition new for such an excellent price, couldn't resist!  )

1 Amp flowing into 1 Henry causes the Voltage across the inductance to rise at 1 Volt per second.(I think)

That's all there is, there's nothing else.

1 Volt applied to 1 Henry causes the Current to rise at 1 Ampere per second.

Also on-topic. Subscribing to this thread to watch after X Chapters release
