Excellent
I have four VHDL books right now and this is the best. The other books teach you the entire language set, which is nice, but they fail to mention that only a segment of the language is synthesizable. This book does a great job teaching you how to program with effective VHDL code period. This is very important because it can save you countless hours of code rewriting.

Not the best vhdl synthesis book
I found this book to be written in a confusing manner, and full of mistakes. For example, on page 51, the author says that hexadecimal E equals decimal 15. Apparently this is not a typo, because it is repeated on page 52, along with the statement that hexadecimal F equals decimal 16. For the beginner, I recommend Bhasker's vhdl primers. Ashenden's Designer's Guide to VHDL is the gold standard for a comprehensive text on the language itself, although it is skimpy on synthesis.

A must have for any logic synthesis designer
I agree with previous author. This book won't let you sleep like the "designer's guide to VHDL" will. I strongly recommend reading this book and then read another excellent book ""Digital Systems Design with VHDL and Synthesis" by "K.C. Chang".However, this book still has weakness, it lacks some detailed info about the sysnthesis tool, such like what is wireload model. Knowing those in a little more detail should help the design in getting better result. Also I am not sure what is the point spending more than 100 pages with all the Appendix such like a list of the std_logic_1164 library and the EDIF files. I would rather having more detail info about the synthesis theory than those listing or take out the listings and cut the price down... .
