That's keen. I particularly like the theme of the circuits, over and above the providing of the parts and stuff.
I still have at least a few of the books, and a gym bag full of busted up tape decks and such that parts could be desoldered from, etc., from back when I was into hobby electronics, before I realized that I liked writing programs (and, even more so, running/administering systems) than I liked all the scarier parts of the Electrical Engineering degree, and punted for Computer Science.
Actually, I wasn't even really all that good an electronics hobbyist, 'cause I couldn't ever really get it together to try etching my own PCBs for making circuits. The book knowledge has occasionally come in handy in other contexts, though, so it's at least been worth it anyway.
