Make: Electronics (3rd Edition): Learning Through Discovery — Charles Platt
Learn electronics from scratch by doing: test with a multimeter, crimp, solder, blow a fuse & build 12V circuits.
Why This Dead-Tree Manual Belongs in Your UK Blackout Library
Specifically written for complete beginners who have never held a soldering iron or multimeter. Uses "learn by discovery" experiments before introducing a single equation.
