In the last 4-5 years of occasionally looking for books to learn electrical concepts (at the armchair specialist level), this is the best one I've found.

This. It's got loads of amazing diagrams and explanations. It's got the basics and more advanced stuff too. This is a great book.

Just logged in, to add another recommendation for this book.

There are errors, but they’re not that hard to spot, if one’s paying attention, when reading.

Definitely read this, before the Art Of Electronics, if you’re just starting out!
