--Basic Electronics--by Van Valkenburgh,nooger and neville-out of print can be found on  that auction site- there is a cd  and softcopies can be found although a little pricey--these books were i believe precedessors to the navy electronics books-these books are very good at explaining tubes, power supplies,rectifier tubes ,choke and rc filters -no theory no math except  ohms law---although somewhat basic and  remedial--the best i have come across for the beginner- really gives one a good background on just what is going on in there-some things are outdated ie: condenser for capacitor-volumes one and two are the most pertinent-

 also if one google's --boozhoundlabs-- a vacuum tube hifi primer--he also explains quite well who is doing what and why

Looks like there are 5 volumes of this book. And they can be had for dirt cheap on amazon. Are all 5 volumes essential?
