Self On Audio is a much-expanded collection of the articles I have published in Wireless World, (WW) Electronics World, (EW) Elektor, and Linear Audio. It gives access to a huge amount of information that is otherwise no longer easy to obtain. It adds a great deal of information to the original articles, including new and cutting-edge technical developments.

The book is available from any big bookshop, or Amazon, or direct from the publisher: see links at left below.

Expanded from 395 to 526 pages.
Published by Routledge/Focal Press, an imprint of Taylor & Francis
