As a license examiner, I am often asked to recommend study material and this is the one that I recommend. It takes a balanced approach to teaching the basic material and test preparation. Some of the other books that I see concentrate more on passing the test by learning the test questions than actually teaching the material.I am often approached by people interested in getting a license but who really don't know why. Ham radio is a broad hobby with many different areas of interest. I think that this book also does a good job of introducing that to somebody who is new to the hobby.
Make sure that you get the right edition of any study manual. The tests are updated every four years. This edition (3d) is designed for use July 2014-June 2018.

The ARRL Ham Radio License Manual ARRL Inc eBook Reviews
My review is based on the edition. Overall, the study guide content is excellent for teaching you what you need to know for the technician exam. If you take the time to read through the book, learn the subjects, and take the practice exams, passing the exam should be no problem at all. And, you'll have a much better understanding the subjects than those people who simply memorize the questions and answers to the exam and get their licenses without knowing much of anything.
With that said, the edition is disappointing because it seems to have been created as an afterthought. There is no table of contents to help you jump between chapters, and that's incredibly frustrating when you're trying to study specific topics. The lack of page numbers is also frustrating. Most books have them these days, so it's unclear why a study guide would not have them, given how important it is to be able to jump to specific parts of the book when preparing for the exam.
I became interested in HAM while looking for alternative means of communication during my remote hikes. I often venture out to areas that have no cell reception.
I have no previous HAM experience and have not used other training materials. I studied the book for about two weeks. On December 14, 2015 I passed my HAM Technician exam.
The book is divided into 10 chapters;Radio and Signals Fundamentals; Electricity, Components, and Circuits; Propagation, Antennas, and Feed Lines; Amateur Radio Equipment; Communicating With Other Hams; Licensing Regulations; Operating Regulations; and Safety.
Each chapter covers the material in an easy to understand format, great for beginners. It also mentions exam questions that are specific to that section.
At the end of each chapter you have the actual exam questions to practice with. The book encourages you to master each section individually, take the practice exam, then move on to the next one. I started from zero, covering about a chapter every day.
The material covered in the book is not just geared towards the exam. Even after passing my exam, I find myself going back to the book, It makes a great reference and I highly recommend it.
Lastly, when you order yours, I would recommend the paper copy. It seems a little more useful than the kindle edition.
Please make sure you order the right version. At the time of this review that would be the third edition.
The Technician exam has a new pool of questions as of July 1, 2014. ARRL's third edition of the Ham Radio License Manual is designed for the aspiring ham radio operator. The material is very clear and readable, even the math sections. Even though you could simply memorize the questions from the FCC test bank, you'll be missing out on a great amount of information that's useful to the new ham operator.
's pricing is better than the ARRL website and with Prime shipping, you can't beat it.
The book is excellent. Highly recommended.
First-rate book. It briefly explains the hobby opportunities before getting into the training. After the training material, there is an excellent glossary, the complete exam question pool (with correct answers indicated), as well as a supplementary chapter on choosing a ham radio.
FWIW, I used this book for self-training and got 100% correct on the exam November 8, 2014. No previous amateur radio experience and never took a ham class.
The training material is geared toward the beginner without being condescending. All topics are explained simply and completely. Excellent graphics -- lots of tables, charts, photographs, and line drawings. For that reason, I'd recommend buying the paperback instead of the version. As much as I love my e-Ink , this is the sort of book that is better in paper and in a large format. If you want the version, use a app on a large computer screen, not a phone or small tablet.
Table of Contents for the course material -- Radio and Signals Fundamentals; Electricity, Components, and Circuits; Propagation, Antennas, and Feed Lines; Amateur Radio Equipment; Communicating With Other Hams; Licensing Regulations; Operating Regulations; and Safety.
There are only 35 questions on the Technician test and Morse code is not required. Anyone who mastered the material in this book could pass the test without any difficulty. There is minimal math in the test and this book will teach you all you need.
After each piece of training, the text refers the reader to the relevant questions in the question pool at the back of the book. It encourages you to master each little "bite-sized" piece before moving on, which helps to build your confidence in your ability to master the material. In addition there is a a link to book-specific online supplementary material on the arrl.org website.
One advantage of this book over the competing books is that it teaches the concepts rather than just how to pass the test. I found that valuable when taking the test. I did not need to worry about memorizing arcane material because I actually understood the concepts. That really helped to eliminate any test anxiety.
Finally, the book teaches how hams operate on the air. Once you pass the test, you will feel much more comfortable getting on the air with your new Technician "ticket."
As a license examiner, I am often asked to recommend study material and this is the one that I recommend. It takes a balanced approach to teaching the basic material and test preparation. Some of the other books that I see concentrate more on passing the test by learning the test questions than actually teaching the material.
I am often approached by people interested in getting a license but who really don't know why. Ham radio is a broad hobby with many different areas of interest. I think that this book also does a good job of introducing that to somebody who is new to the hobby.
