Self On Audio is a much-expanded collection of the articles I have published in Electronics World/Wireless World, Elektor, and Linear Audio. It gives access to a huge amount of information that is otherwise no longer easy to obtain. It adds a great deal of information to the original articles, including new and cutting-edge technical developments.

Available from any big bookshop, or Amazon, or Elsevier direct: see links at left.
