[Andrew · Rating 4 out of 5]

I don't use this reference book as frequently these days, but it proved its worth back when I was reverse engineering ICs. My copy is getting a little old, however it does cover the basics of ASIC design flows.

[Xuan Zhang · Rating 3 out of 5]

Although it comprehensively covers the ASIC design process and concepts, this book lacks the smooth flow that critically distinguishes a highly-rated textbook from a laundry list of user manuals and references.
