Two of my favorite electronics books are "The Art of Electronics", by David Horowitz and "Practical Electronics for Inventors", by Scherz Monk.

I often find good technical books at abebooks.com. The Monk book is there for about $5, while the Horowitz book stays expensive.

I cut my teeth on this thing. It had a whopping 256 BYTES of ram!
