Getting Started in Electronics (1983) is an incredibly hand-lettered curiosity

I got my copy of the book the same way. I can’t remember where I read about it, possibly in the manual for the 300-in-1 kit. I convinced my mom to take me to Radio Shack so I could buy it. One of the smartest purchases I made as a kid.

I’ve thought about handing the book down to one of my nephews or nieces, but I’ve tried doing that with other things I loved as a kid (Choose Your Own Adventure books, Star Wars figures, etc.) and for the most part they’ve had no interest. I’ve learned that you can’t choose a kid’s interests for them; all you can do is support them in what they do have an interest in.
