About the Author
Michael Jay Geier has been an electronics technician, designer and inventor since age 6. He took apart everything he could get his hands on, and soon discovered that learning to put it back together was even more fun. By age 8, he operated a neighborhood electronics repair service that was profiled in The Miami News. He went on to work in numerous service centers in Miami, Boston and Seattle, frequently serving as the “tough dog” tech who solved the cases other techs couldn’t. At the same time, Michael was a pioneer in the field of augmentative communications systems, helping a noted Boston clinic develop computer speech systems for children with cerebral palsy. He also invented and sold an amateur radio device while writing and marketing software in the early years of personal computing.
Michael holds an FCC Extra-class amateur radio license. His involvement in ham radio led to his writing career, first with articles for ham radio magazines, and then with general technology features in Electronic Engineering Times, Desktop Engineering, IEEE Spectrum, and The Envisioneering Newsletter. His work on digital rights management has been cited in several patents. Michael earned a Boston Conservatory of Music degree in composition, was trained as a conductor, and is an accomplished classical, jazz and pop pianist, and a published songwriter. Along with building and repairing electronic circuitry, he enjoys table tennis, restoring antique mopeds, ice skating, bicycling, and banging out a jazz tune on his harpsichord.

I might already own this book somewhere in my house but could not find it so I bought it again. I do electronics as a hobby and have done as part of my college and university studies but unfortunately work in a bakery but electronics would be my dream job. Very good book and packed full of information.
5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant book
Great read for the electronic hobbyist . Absolutely love this book but half way through gets a little too in depth for a beginner like myself but brilliant book nonetheless and well worth a read
4.0 out of 5 stars Very helpfull
Being an amateur electronics hobbyist for several years I am looking for books that can give advanced tips of how to fix "things". This is an art in itself as it require great knowledge and experience in the field. Also, because "things" today are different from older electronics - there is so much more digital components, SMD-soldered parts and complicated PCBs -it can be difficult to give advice that last without being too general.The book is written by an experienced old hand that know his solder and it really brings a lot of good advice, combined with nice close-up photos. I like that the author explains some cases that was complex to solve - and I would want more of such histories, as they sometimes are better to get the point through. I would have wanted some more tips on repairing or modifying modern electronic music equipment, as this is where I am now (modding older synths).But all in all, the book is recommendable.
5.0 out of 5 stars Stay safe with electronics
Yes plenty information about all things to read
5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful .
I gave this as a present. My nephew has been very pleased with it's help.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good product
Not read all of it but seems very thorough
4.0 out of 5 stars Arrived in good condition the book
The book is good read slightly technical
5.0 out of 5 stars I like the author's style
Really insightful and very easy to read. Great story telling from the author that really helps to set the pace and tone, helping the topics sink in without having to go back over old ground, as with a lot of text books.A great section on tools to acquire and tips on how to use them throughout. Really liked the nod to the magic smoke - if you let it escape, you can rest assured the device is not likely to work afterwards.
A very useful book

Would be 5 stars were it not for the sometimes strange language Jay Geier uses.
Very good knowledge for electronic repair
Perfect the different sections. Historical explanations like electrolytic capacitor scandal is very interesting. Informations such as how many complex electronics schematics are noted for components like U5000 and then all associated components with same numbers C5001, R5002 and so on are spot on. Can only recommend buying this book even for people which work in the electronics business and went to school/university it still covers many intersting aspects which are particularly useful for electronics repair.
