How about "Basic Electronic Theory" from TAB books?
Bryan
 I'd like to get some recommendations from the list for a good introductory
 electronics book for my 14 year-old son. He's interested in building an
 intercom system (and other circuits) that he got off the Web, and I would
 like something for him to read that will give him a good understanding of
 how the circuit works. (For example, it uses the primary windings of a
 120V:12V transformer as a coil.) TIA.
