    Small Signal Audio design by Douglas Self is a great book on audio electronics. Now in an updated (2020) third edition. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Small-Signa...s=books&sr=1-1

    But like most technical books, it's not cheap. But it's one of those books that will help you expand your understanding of audio circuits in general. I doubt it's light reading (I haven't got it), but if you want to do more designing rather than just copying circuits or making basic modifications, it could be a very useful book.

    Yes, it does look good, and definitely won't gloss over details like Jack's book does. But at nearly 120AUD I might give it a miss for now. The Orman book does a good job of explaining how things work, and what the design options are in general terms, so it makes a good starting point.
