Title: This book can be safely skipped
Review: A good book should be concise, clear and also should pack good deal of information. This book fails on all 3 counts.1)This is a thick book which makes for a nice pillow, yet the topics, I wanted to learn, lack depth. And I am talking about adders and multipliers. After skimming thr' adders & multipliers, I could find very little new info I not knew about. This book should have been titled "Introduction to digital arithmetic".2)The notation and the figures used in the book are unconventional and hard to follow. I had a tough time to read thr' 5 pages without getting frustated. You have to think hard just to figure out what the authors want to tell.Finally I want to say, if you want to learn about digital arithmetic, better buy Koren. I bought both the books at the same time, and found Koren lot better. IMO putting 1hr effort on reading Koren = 10hrs effort reading this book
