the best for excercises
i have been using both roth and mano for my digital design course at college and my experience is that roth is 'the' book for digital design.it is clear ,concise and to the point.mano seems to be a little too descriptive and sometimes drives you early to bed.however it is always good to refer to mano as for PLDs are concerned..

Textbook in Course I'm Teaching
(Note -- this review applies to the 4th edition of the text. I haven't seen the 5th edition, but it seems that it will fix most of my complaints, hopefully without subtracting from the good features!)This is a learn-by-example style of text. Not only are examples given in the body text, but the first end-of-chapter problems are worked out in detail, and solutions are given for many more. I consider this a fine book for enriching the material I'm presenting in class. Major down-side is that the book is decades out of date in terms of design style (some of which might cost one's job if applied) and extensive use of obsolete components (type T flip-flops anyone?). Roth's VHDL based book is probably better, but you gotta learn the fundamentals first, and this book covers them. Any good instructor will point out the flaws.

Hard to understand
This is a bad book for several reasons
1.)It lacks good examples. The examples are too short for the most part, and the author makes little effort to explain how did he get into the final answer.
2.)It spends too much time on Boolean algebra. Nobody use boolean algebra for complex digital circuits. The author should have given more time for the K-Map.
3.)There is nothing in the book that tell you the application of digital design in the real worldI suggest you read Digital Fundamentals by Thomas Floyd. It is a much better book!
