Too many Schaum's in this space3
The book is fine for what it covers, but there are a number of similar books from Schaum's in this space. This makes it difficult to identify that book that covers the material I am most interested in.

This book seemed to be the most appropriate for my needs, but the majority of the book was not relevant to me while the book lack coverage of much of what I was hoping to be covered in the book.

Digital Design5
This book was very helpful durning my Digital Logic and Design course. It dosen't cover VHDL and I bought that seperate from Wiley but this book could replace most texts.

Good tutorial in digital logic and design for EE undergrads 4
This Schaum's outline is great for electrical engineering undergraduate students who are taking a first course in digital logic and digital circuit design. It starts out with the binary number system and the various binary codes and then moves on to logic gates. The theory that allows the simplifying of circuits and the substitution of one set of logic gates for another is also covered. The last 60% of the book involves an introduction to the various base devices used in logic design: flip-flops, counters, shift registers, memory devices, and adders among others. Each section shows how more sophisticated devices can be described in terms of the simpler devices already introduced. For students who want a more in-depth treatment of the synthesis and simplification of switching and logic circuits and more advanced Boolean algebra theory than this book provides, I suggest "Schaum's Outline of Boolean Algebra and Switching Circuits".
The only negative thing I have to say is that most of the problems in the outline involve analysis of circuits rather than circuit design, which is usually the main point of any digital electronics class, even a beginning one. However, I would still recommend it as a supplement.
