Complete PCI Express Reference
This book provides much more information than the specification. I know one of the engineers that wrote the specification and I for his sake I hate to admit that this book does a much better job. When I use the specification I have to look at all pages in the specification to find all information on each topic. This book has done this work by grouping into chapters these topics and adding design information. It saved me weeks of design work and it helped me understand the specification. I do have to admit that without the book I don't think I would have understood the specification.

Complete PCI Express Reference
This is absolute must have book for any hardware or software engineer working on PCI Express. It has excellent detailed block diagrams, many tables, and extensive flowcharts which are very useful engineering aids. It appears all are beyond the specification and not simply a copy of the specification. It is very well rewritten and removes the guess work of what the specification was defining and provides the details the specification should have provided. It appears that Intel printed this book in addition to their introduction book to provide a single source for complete information and appears to have provided the authors with inside information. This book is so complete in protocol and architecture one does not even need to get the specification for these topics. The error and link state chapters and general architecture are excellent and far beyond anything in the specification. The book does provide an overview of the mechanical and the electrical waveforms for component devices, but refers to the specification for details of these topics. A friend who was technical reviewer of this book lent me electronic files of this book as a favor and I found it so useful I ordered a hardcopy.
