Dean's Electronics

 is a book written for amateur electricians in the 21st century. On the book's cover, there is the picture of a light bulb in a circle lying atop various electrical diagrams. People used this book for learning the field of electronics and repairing electrical equipment. These books are used in the Vault-Tec Vaults.

On July 13, 2268, there is a notice by Stanley Armstrong, a Vault 101 maintenance technician, on the Cafeteria bulletin board requesting the return of his copy of Dean's Electronics.

Trivia

 * Even though reading the book helps you in repairing guns, there are no pictures whatsoever of a gun on the cover indicating that it was probably never meant to help people repair guns or other defensive weapons. (Although, repairing weapons is not the only thing that repair is used for.)
 * Book is a loose reference to "Practical Electronics for Inventors" by Paul Scherz
