Although this is a cool book, a lot of the stuff in it is really a fun surprise, but it won't make you an evil genius.

This is unfortunate, since novice readers may not spot the problems, and end up with circuits which don't work.
I'd also recommend a more traditional, left-to-right layout of the schematics. Some are left-right top-down, others are right-left. This makes it more difficult ... Read More
