Unfortunately, this book is more of an overview book. Don't expect to get any of the subjects presented fully explained. Some of the really important topics (like hazard detection) are only briefly mentioned. For the price it should have been at least twice as big and much more detailed.

The author claims that he covered in this book what other test books failed to do. He claims that this book can be used to design a processor from start to finish. Unfortunately I bought this book and was hoping to find a detailed explanation on how to design a mini processor. After reviewing the book, I concluded that this book is a waste of money and time. For example, the book talks too much about verilog basics but did not provide a block diagram or a top level for the VeSPA processor which is used in the book. For the money I paid I was expecting to find a useful example of a mini processor design.
