Electronics beginner guides
(OP)
Does anyone know of some good guides/electronic kits that help you learn basics about circuit elements and work your way up? For instance, a book called Make: Electronics has 36 experiments done on a breadboard that involve resistors, LEDs, switches, etc. It seems like a good book and has good review, but the lab kit required for it is way too expensive. Does anyone know of any books/kits that are similar to this book?

I personally don't think that you necessarily need to brute force your way through all the components of the kits your reference. I mean, sure, it's desirable to slog through all the resistor and capacitor experiments, but are they really necessary? A decent, free sircuit simulator can do more for you for the basic circuit elements. Again, your objectives should dictate what you need to learn.
A BOEBot kit might make more sense for certain objectives: http://www.parallax.com/Store/Robots/AllRobots/tab...
or even a LEGO NXT: http://www.frys.com/product/5978894?site=sr:SEARCH...
or something simpler/cheaper: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10170

LTspice for example.
Build you circuit - probe the waveforms with current and voltage traces. Try to understand why it does what it does. In many ways not much different than hands on ....and it's a lot easier/cheaper.
