Applied Digital Signal Processing: Theory and Practice

This book will maybe last if I handle it with care. It is a brand new book and I can see that pages in the middle are coming loose from the binding. It would help to have some prior knowledge of DSP - they don't get into all of the theory here. However, this is an EXCELLENT book for learning to do practical things with DSP once you understand the theory. Highly recommended content, but I don't know if you want to take a chance on the binding, which by looking at the other reviews, has been a problem for just about everybody.

The book looks new to me. No damage what so ever.The only con (which also happened to a class mate who bought the text from somewhere else) is that the back cover came off the "hinge." It is still attached, but I can like fold the back cover all the way around to the front, exposing the binding. It's weird that it happened to the both of us.

It`s a great title on DSP area. First DSP book I have used, with good theory, but not too much that would make it hard.The MATLAB applications are great for learning and the exercises are great.

This is a pretty good reference book.

good price

I got this book for a class. The content was good, and it fit the class well, but the binding ripped apart about halfway through the book. It originally cracked about a few weeks into the course, and a few months later has split entirely. I now have two halves of a book and pages are falling out.

This book is gorgeous I think. Abundant graphs with simplest illustration will lead you to the deepest part of the complicated signal processing.

This is by far one of the worst textbooks I have every had for learning a subject. The authors skip over major computational steps and likes to instruct readers to "See Tutorial" problems in place of explaining how to do something. The Tutorial problems are just problems at the end of the chapter the reader is to work out on their own which if you are looking for clarification on how to do this leads you to more frustration and seeking a better written book.After having the book for less than two months the binding has already broken, it's unfortunate that this book is yet another example of the low quality material coming from the Cambridge University Press.
