I would add the Hall/Hall/McCall book "High-Speed Digital System Design"
as a must-have, also.

No questions.  The top of my list is:

Johnson and Graham:
    High-Speed Digital Design: A Handbook of Black Magic
http://signalintegrity.com/books.htm#hsdd

Most of my friends just call it "Black Magic".

It's 10 years old.  The examples use DIPs rather than BGAs.  But it
covers=20
the basics and does it in a way that's easy to understand.

I like the style.  It's got the same feel as the Art of Electronics.
Every=20
time I go to look something up I get sucked in to browsing a section or
3. =20
It feels like an old friend.


Hot off the press. =20

Lee Ritchey:
    Right the First Time, A Practical Handbook on
        High Speed PCB and System Design
http://www.speedingedge.com/rtft_book.htm

I haven't spent much time with it yet, so I'm not as attached to it as
as I=20
am to "Black Magic".  I like it.  When I showed to a friend, he said
"This is=20
good", and after flipping a few more pages he said "This is really
good!".


There is a follow on to Black Magic:

Johnson and Graham:
    High-Speed Signal Propagation: Advanced Black Magic
http://signalintegrity.com/books.htm

It's new/different material, not an update of the old version.  (Read
their=20
web page.)

I don't like it as much.  I'm not sure why.  Probably I haven't been as=20
interested in the material.



If you can, I suggest finding a friend or co-worker who has them and is=20
willing to let you browse for a day or three.
