Merlin's 2nd book - Power Supplies

[tubeswell]

Hot off the press. I just ordered mine today. Time will tell if its anything like his first book

[FranciscoPerez]

Good news!
I'll order mine as soon as possible too.

[FYL]

The sample chapter is really good. I guess that the book will be as good. We'll see: I've ordered it thru Lulu and should get it in a couple of weeks or so (print on demand isn't really fast).

maybe a good reason for whipping up a bit of interest in orders

Somehow he'll manage to make more if you all buy them.  That is the point of publishing a book, isn't it?

I have just contacted my supplier of confidence… 

hope there is not so much to wait for

as FYL told in another thread

Poste Italiane as well as Dogane Italiane are really slow when it comes to international packages, with a couple of months of backlog, sometimes more.

they have still hit

not able to order the book from my confidence supplier

http://www.libreriauniversitaria.it/c_power_search.php?shelf=BEN&q=merlin+Blencowe&submit=

they have only the first book and to order from Lulu or Doberman will have lot of contraindications  

HOPE Mr Merlin can solve this problem taking agreements also with an European distributor

Pretty normal: Merlin's new book has not yet been referenced in the big ole' book distribution system. Only Lulu and Doberman have referenced it today. Wait a couple of weeks...

[kagliostro]

Today was possible to order the book also from my confidence supplier, here in Italy !!

http://www.libreriauniversitaria.it/c_power_search.php?shelf=BEN&q=merlin+Blencowe&submit=

and expedition isn't by post it is with courier, so it is faster than postal shipment

I'm very happy, this is my Xmas present to myself

[Fresh_Start]

Both of Merlin's books are now available through Barnes & Noble.  I'm genuinely impressed!

Chip

P.S. Please don't order the first one until my wife orders one for me 

[tonewood]

I got mine quite fast from Lulu. Have already gotten my $30 worth out of it. Fills in a lot of gaps that I have been wondering about. However, I am still mostly gaps when it comes to amps, but this helps.

[jojokeo]

Lulu gave fast service AND a discount and cheaper shipping. Can't beat that w/ Doberman or others!

[Fresh_Start]

There was a thread recently on AX84.com regarding the basic bias supply circuit.  Merlin has posted a correction HERE

If you're interested, here's the discussion on AX84:

Cheers,

[kagliostro]

Many thanks for the advice

It will be very nice if Mr. Merlin put in his web site the reprint of the corrected pages (complete page)

so it will be possible to reprint the page and insert it into the book as to avoid pen corrections

what do you think about ?

Came in the UPS today.  Just in time to slow me down on starting to design a new amp.

That'll be in time for the southern hemisphere winter. Good ol' Merlin - hangin' in there for us devotees.

My wife bought me Merlin's 1st book on preamps for Xmas, but 25% off sounds good to me... Thanks PRR!

[3choplex]

Aww rats! Didn't see the discount until now. On the plus side, mine shipped yesterday.

[G._Hoffman]

I'm about 1/2 way through, and though some of the transformer math went over my head, I'm still liking it a lot, and have learned quite a bit.

Now, when is the Power Amp book going to come out?


Gabriel

[joelap]

Still waiting on mine from Lulu, ordered before Christmas and got an email 3 days ago saying it shipped.  His book on preamps was great stuff.

My wife bought me Merlin's 1st book on preamps for Xmas
