I ordered some National Semiconductor and Linear Technology application handbooks, as mentioned by tautech and David Hess, that were available cheaply. I like to have this information printed. National has the bad habit of removing app notes of devices that are no longer available from their website, even though it may contain concepts that are still relevant. Like a few app notes written by Jim Williams when he worked for National. I'm guessing they won't break into my house to tear out pages from printed books ;). I also bought "Soul of a New Machine" mentioned by PlainName, since it looked like a fun read.

Hopefully your post is meant as a joke...

Do let us know what you think of it.

Book prices are crazy today.  I bought my copy of Ramo, Whinnery and Van Duzer as an undergrad.  The price stamped in the fronts piece is $12.50 (USD).  Then a decade later in grad school one of the courses required the same book.  Went to the bookstore and found that it wasn't t a new edition so I didn't need to purchase another.  Good thing since the price was up near $80.  It is more now.  But strangely enough old editions of the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics and Machinery's Handbook are quite reasonable.  And quite useful as the have data and recipes not found in more recent editions.  Base diagrams for vacuum tubes for example.

I got this years ago for just $5 including FedEx shipping. It actually came from Digi-Key. I don't know if they still sell a hard copy version, but you can download a pdf for free if you have a TI account (or do a internet search). It's full of useful info related to electronics in general not just for analog.
