This book is a good introduction about DSP theory on FPGA. I think it is very useful for my graduated school study (biomedical engineering), especially combined reading of another two books: "Advanced FPGA Design: Architecture, Implementation, and Optimization" by Steve Kilts, and "The Design Warrior's Guide to FPGAs: Devices, Tools and Flows (Edn Series for Design Engineers)by Clive "Max" Maxfield.

This book got a lot of figures that clearly explain the idea of digital signal processing on FPGA. You only need a little signal process basic. The authors explain clearly of how it work. It also introduced different tools, different chips. For example, it discusses of Altera, Xilinx, Lattice, those different FPGA chips in Chapter 4 & 5. It explain some tools like Matlab, IP core in Chapter 7. Chapter 8 of architecture, and Chapter 13 of power consumption consideration are also useful.

Anyway, it tells less about the exactly "verilog/vhdl code". If you are hurry to do "Implementation", another book may be more useful: "Digital Signal Processing with Field Programmable Gate Arrays" by Uwe Meyer-Baese (2nd or 3rd edition were OK).

I recommended this, mmmm...., well, except that price is a little high :-
