This Book Needs an Update.
I was disappointed with this book because it presents the state of the art from about 1982. We are using computer programs to draw schematics now, but this book concentrates mostly on how to use pencils and templates. No mention is even made of OrCAD. The chapter on PCB design instructs us to draw circuit board traces on paper with pencil. The pictures are from companies who are out of business or in other lines of work now (Bishop Graphics, Prime-Computervision). Don't spend much on this book, even though books on this subject are hard to find lately.
Excellent reference book for creating drawings.
I am an electrical engineer and PE, designing control systems. Although, I have not read this book cover to cover, it is setting on my desk and I use it frequently as a reference. It is an excellent source for creating electrical drawings, whether you are fluent in schematic generation, or just getting started. It contains information at all levels of understanding. I borrowed it from a CAD designer I work with, and it appears to be written for CAD designers. I have looked for a reference book of this nature- they are very hard to find. The reason I am writing this review is I came to amazon.com to buy it- a definite necessity for my professional library!
