What people on Hacker News said
I was introduced to electronics via this book. Not really a textbook but it's I think it's a great book to get started, it covers almost the same topics as the Art of Electronics but not as deep and with better visual explanations.
Not only does it have practical circuits it also has chapters on theory presented in such a way as to have me understand it.
It's not an in depth book, it's pretty much a beginners book, but it's thorough and practical.
For small scale circuits, I like Scherz's "Practical Electronics for Inventors".
It's beautifully laid out with clear illustrations, summary tables and well-explained text.
I'm not usually tempted to buy a hardcopy but this looks super handy.
