This is an excellent reference book of common Verilog & VHDL design examples for RTL designers of all skills and experience levels. Along with Palnitkar and Bhasker's books on Verilog and synthesis, I have a copy of this book at both work and home.

About the only drawback is the very flimsy binding, totally unsuitable for a book intended as a reference. For whatever reason, the book has not been reprinted for many years. I am so concerned about not being able to replace them that I handle mine very carefully, as if they were Gutenberg Bibles. If you are involved in front-end ASIC/FPGA design, make sure you get one while it is still available - because you sure are not borrowing mine.
