The local library often has info on what's available and where. What little I can remember came from doing the course for my amateur radio licence. This goes into the basics pretty thoroughly, and you don't have to take the exam at the end, or even stay on the course once it gets to stuff like radio procedures, rules and regs etc. My course was run by a local college, but many local amateur radio societies run them - no doubt the RSGB (Radio Society of Great Britain, or Ready Steady Go Brigade if you prefer) will have lists.

Here is a site that I have found that has some information that starts from the beginning and works it way up to where ever you want to go. Check it out, the price is right. Hope it is of some help to you. :D :D

There are a lot more sites around that have various level of electronic information available as well as sample projects to build to get used to working with various electronic parts. You can have a lot of fun with a handful of cheap parts and a soldering iron while learning about what some of the parts do in an electrical circuit. :ddb: :ddb:
Happy New Year Rob
Cheers :beer:

Good book, Bought it a couple of years ago. Beware the semiconductor type listings at the back. In my copy, maybe now corrected I hope, the table headings go out of sync.
A site worth a shufti, just found it tonight, ...
