Well, on my bookpage I write:

    This is a very good book for those seeking hands-on tips on how to
    really design and measure high-speed digital designs. This book 
    doesn't describe any of that digital theory, it assumes you know
    that and just have trouble making good designs. It is a very
    crash-coarse oriented book that certainly helped me to clear up
    several issues. Here you learn the troubles of bypass capacitors,
    paths of currents, impedance mathching etc. A lot of these
    techniques makes sound reading even for more modest analog designs.

It helps you both to design, find errors and redesign. When you go
just above hearing range (say 200 MHz or so ;) you really need
something like this.

First I got one for myself, and then I bougth 4 for work and spread
them over the hardware department (rather, sneaked them onto the table
of people in deep need for it).

Cheers,
Magnus
