great book. excellent reference material.
Learn circuit bending from the man himself. This book shows you proper bend techniques and is loaded with great ideas. If your just learning this book pairs nicely with the Radio Shack Electronics Learning Lab. It has 200 projects that utilize the 555 timer chip (which is used a lot in circuit bending). I just picked up both and i've already learned quite a bit in a few weeks. Having a book and a hands on way to learn really helps.

Goob book
Its a good book, but it really needs to reprinted. There is no reason for the book to cost $60 or more. Still, it is a good book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
