a good question.

i can only answer with, i started reading electronic books in library at
around age of 9. i started working part time in a radio/tv repair shop at
13. correspondence course with rca at 14, electronics in usaf at 20.

semiconductor manuals at 23, logic manuals at 28, oem cpu tech manuals at
34, and now reading on line at age 68 and still learning, it is difficult
to say what i might consider 'beginner to intermediate'.

best answer to give you is just go to local library and look up titles
and start reading.

today, there are so many 'beginner' books, it is not an easy question to
answer. if you are in school and they have any course in electronics, ask
what they use. or check with local college to see what they use.

regardless of what you find, there is nothing wrong with finding several
books and read them, because the more you read, the wider the range will
be in your learning.

i wish i could give you a more definitive answer, as it has been too
long from when i started and i am still learning.

if you have any further questioning along this subject, please contact me
off list and i will reply. to continue such in this thread or thru this
list, is not in keeping with etiquette policy of this tech support list.

thank you.
