Title: Style of writing is painful
Review: Just start reading the introduction, or flip to anywhere in this book to see all you need to know about it's readability: a bit rough to say the least.For example, in the introduction, the concept of carrying binary data in a shorter period of time on a wire than several measured pulses was presented in such a confusing manner that I was forced to read it 4 times to understand what was already a simple and understood concept to me. The excessive formality of this book is a killer.. It reads at times like a formal mathematics proof book, however, at other times it is a bit more readable.Like people said.. use this for reference.. not for a textbook.
