Summary: frustration abound!
Review: Anyone who has scrolled down to this half of the page is probably some disgruntled computer science student, who's had the unfortunate luck of this being assigned as their textbook. Any hope of comprehending this book will have to be due to no less than your 100% undivided attention while reading, and even if you attempt to answer the exercises, you will probably be destined to an ungratified fate because of the lack of an answer key for sale -- or you can grovel to your professor, but according to the publisher, it's strictly TOP SECRET information. I have never encountered a textbook that is more of a discouragement ... no, a retardant, to learning.

Summary: Not a service but cause of confusion
Review: Here is a useless book in this field that can cause much confusion in the minds of students. The book seems to be jumping around all over the place and all those hard to understand concepts can very well be explained in simpler terms with examples as we have done in our outside the book discussions. Better grab some other books and don't waste your money on this book.

Summary: Thick reading - Tired eyes.
Review: Hour upon hour, I have struggled with the pages of this book and the more I did, the stronger I felt that the knowledge I had was going away! The thirty thousand details in each diagram (where it is not really needed), with the inadequate two line explanations left the reader frustrated. Honestly, the book did not explain the fundamental concepts in simple form and the exercises were beyond what the reader was prepared for from the reading! I want a refund or an equivalent amount for firewood to help burn this book that the poor students have been deceived and suckered into. I used to be a very optimistic person and had a belief that people do not inflict harm or misery on individual they do not know. But the authors and their effect on the reader body has made me believe otherwise!

Summary: A book really deserves Five Stars
Review: I feel very lucky that I bought this book. It presents the digital logic world to its readers in a very clear, clean and comprehensive way. This is the book I have been seeking.

Summary: Digital Poetry
Review: I found this to be one of the most indispensable books for the Electrical Engineer. I initially had difficulty with it, because it is typically used as an introductory text to EE/CS courses, but I learned that it was because I was not ready for this book. With most books prior to this one, I was able to skim paragraphs quickly and get the general idea. This one, however, requires attention to detail, because every word of every sentence is necessary for comprehension. So should a book with no extraneous details be ridiculed? I think not! In this manner, I think it is like poetry -- it is the best possible description of its subject within smaller textbook limitations.

Summary: this book is worst I have ever seen so far
Review: I have read about half of the book by now, and it seems that it is giving you more confusion than understanding. And it doesn't have a lot of examples to clarify the ideas. I would advise anyone DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. TRUST ME, DON'T BUY IT OR ELSE YOU WILL REGRET THAT YOU DID.

Summary: good exercise but how should i solve it?
Review: I think this book is very good to introduces the computer design concept, it also give us the deep understanding about digital principles, the only problem of this book is the exercise, well, this book doesnt covers the answer of the exercise, and that was a pity, how do we know that our answer is right?

Summary: Good and thorough information
Review: I'm a Computer Science student (from the Netherlands) and at our university we use the above book. I think it has a good coverage of the subject. The basics are tought quick. Further on, the information is more difficult to absorb. Conclusion: great book, good information. The latter chapters are not easy to read, because of its large texts.

Summary: Not worth the price!
Review: Mano and Kime do an admirable job of organizing the enormous content that this book covers, however they skim across topics that should be covered in depth and devote page after page on information that students will never use again. It is time they removed their heads from the sand and actually write a book that is worth the price tag.
Rating: 
Summary: decent book
Review: The book is well organized and written. However, there are no answers to the exercises given in the book. Overall, a decent introductory book for CS/CE/EE majors.
