Design Recipes for FPGAs by Wilson - Opinions of book?

[max w.]

Does anyone have any opinions on this book? It was recommended by
Clive Maxwell.
On Amazon there was only one review and while positive it said there
were a good
few mistakes. I emailed the professor at his college about a month ago
to see if
he had a site that kept track of the mistakes. He hasn't responded
yet, most likely
on holiday. I have done well with cookbook type texts, so that is why
I'm interested.
Any opinions appreciated.

I don't like these book very much because the errors it has. I think
it style is not serious and you can find the same material in
internet, but download it and read some chapter before you buy it. I
can recommend you two better books: Advanced FPGA Design:
Architecture, Implementation, and Optimization (examples in verilog)
and VHDL Coding Styles and Methodologies.

This book has lot of errors and mistakes.
It is one of the most unprofessionally written book I have ever seen
on this subject.
I am regretting buying this book.
So I would not recommend this book. It is better to buy some other
book, there are plenty of them.

Work through a few of these first:

You may also consider "FPGA Prototyping by VHDL Examples." See the
