The book is available as a PDF file at -
https://docer.pl/doc/x1n8n0c On the site - docer.pl - there are many useful books and articles available, not only for beginners, but also for advanced electronics.
The problem may be that everything is hidden, so you need to know what and how to look for.
For the uninitiated, here's the site's user manual. In the top bar - search for documents - we enter the word, key.
It can be the name of the author, or the subject, e.g. beginner, electronics, diode, transistor, etc. Or part of the title of the book.
For beginners in electronics, I recommend entering the position - Piotr Górecki Electronics for beginners. And others by the same author.
And a few items by Nurhman or Nuhrman (they write differently).
For starters, a great introductory read, despite the passage of years since publication.
In turn advanced electronics engineers, computer scientists, etc. professionals probably will also find something.
I think that after this explanation, it will not be a problem to find the appropriate document. Of course, if there is.
best regards
