No more wonderful books like 110 Cmos projects or 101 transistor circuits
Bastards! Those are classics!
A series of project books I've enjoyed recently have been the poorly-named "Evil Genius" series. A few of them are:
Electronic Gadgets for the Evil Genius
More Electronic Gadgets for the Evil Genius
Electronic Circuits for the Evil Genius
Robotics Experiments for the Evil Genius
Dangerously Mad Projects for the Evil Genius
Microcontroller Experiments for the Evil Genius
Arduino Projects for the Evil Genius
Outer Space Projects for the Evil Genius
Spy Gadgets for the Evil Genius
Fuel Cell Projects for the Evil Genius
Radio and Receiver Projects for the Evil Genius
Solar Energy Projects for the Evil Genius
Telephone Projects for the Evil Genius
Recycling Projects for the Evil Genius
Green Projects for the Evil Genius
Hard to imagine an "evil" genius doing recycling, green and solar projects, isn't it? I think "Mad Scientist" would have been a better title. There are quite a few more books in the series than this. I've only read the first two, but I can recommend them highly.
