So this was Christmas,
And what have you done?
Another year over,
And a new one just begun.
And here is Elektor's January February double edition,
I hope you have fun.
The near and the dear ones,
The old and the young *

 

From past experience and trials we’ve come to understand that the Elektor readership is really keen on having a big bunch of circuits, ideas, reviews, lab reports, and various unfinished symphonies, to get them through the solstitio brumali — the very dead of winter. Our double editions traditionally are the best sold and draw the highest response rates, which is gratifying to say the least. Hence our decision to publish two of them every year. Our first double-size edition for the year 2013, covering January and February, is available now.

 

On the following 100-odd editorial pages we aim to strike a balance between small circuits and larger ones. Here is the table of contents for the latest edition of Elektor:
