This book is well written
I saw the review (November 17) below that dislikes the explanations, editing, and style - and have to say I disagree. I think this must be a student in the UCI class who screwed up the first homework. This book is well-written. Read the beginning of Chapter 2 here, online, and read the other reviews.

Find a better book
This book is comprehensive, yes, but the explanations are poor. I find his writing style difficult to follow. The book is poorly edited as well, for example, the second chapter introduces datapath logic cells and then immediately goes into a multipage treatise of multiplier architecture. Interesting information but it seems much out of place given the context. The problems are not very helpful either. Often you will need to search for information outside of the text in order to complete the question. The author obviously knows the subject well, I just don't think he does a very good job of teaching it.

Great Starter and Reference
Smith's text is an excellent introductory text to those you are curious of the details of ASIC design. This was my first book on ASIC design and I still reference it often. A must read if you are an ASIC designer.
