Friends,

My Electonics Series at http://stores.lulu.com/thomasscarborough has entered
its Second Edition.  Interest has continued to be strong.  Descriptions of
my three books follow below.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION.  All circuits use a mere 6 components, or less.  Seldom
does one find such compact circuits -- let alone ones that really DO
anything!  Most of these circuits do something in themselves -- they are not
merely building blocks to be used in other circuits.  Each book in the
Second Edition contains 15 complete projects, plus 20-40 tested suggestions.
Each book includes circuit theory, constructional tips, components lists --  
and sometimes a little electronics history.  The books are written with an
"education from experience" in mind.  It is my hope that readers will get a
real feel for the ins and outs of electronics, as well as having a great
deal of fun.  Print copies cost $9.95, and downloads $2.95.  There are FREE
previews of each book.

FOREWORD.  Alan R. Winstanley, On-Line Editor of Everyday Practical
Electronics, writes in the Foreword to the Second Edition:  "Thomas
Scarborough first caught my eye by contributing small circuit novelties
to the "Ingenuity Unlimited" column of Everyday Practical Electronics
magazine in the 1990s.  Soon his ideas were flowing thick and fast, and
before long Thomas was authoring superbly presented constructional
articles of the highest standards and clarity.   Thomas has an infectious
enthusiasm that enthrals and inspires hobbyists, encouraging them to
dabble with his modestly proportioned but thoroughly developed
applications. I am delighted to introduce this series, an ensemble of
simple electronic ideas utilising no more than six components. I am sure
they will entertain, fascinate and captivate electronics constructors
everywhere."
