Projects in Sight, Sound and Sensation

Published over 30 years ago in 1974, this is the first  book I wrote. Today it seems almost retro, electronic construction projects herald back to the days of "tune in a drop" out, love-ins, the Beatles, and Height-Asbury hippies. This was before the personal computer, it was the era of Heath Kits and CB Radio. You can download the enter book in PDF form using the links below.
