As Electrical Engineers, we all need great books to learn from, or use as a reference. However, finding a good book among tens and sometimes hundreds of choices is not easy. In this post we have tried to compile a list of some great Electrical Engineering books. We created the list by contacting some experts in the field, and also by reading a lot of reader's reviews. We have divided the list into two groups. First is a short list of some introductory books, suitable for those who have no or very little background in the field. And the second group is a list of more advanced books, that many of them have been reference books for a lot of electrical engineers. In the list we have tried to keep the number of books in each category limited to three, although in some cases there are more great books in that category. Enjoy this list of great Electrical Engineering books.

We have tried to put together a list of some great Electrical Engineering books. For sure there are many more excellent books in the field. But due to the lack of space we have chosen to post only top three in some of the fields. If you think there are important books that we might have missed in this list of great Electrical Engineering books, please send us an email for consideration.
