I understand US commercial and academic institustions tend to keep rather comprehensive communal libraries. If so, R&D print runs might well have been in mere 3 digits. Judging from the numbers of citations to R&G, those copies would long since be worn out, though. Besides, there aren't too many DSP books that are issued in 3 editions. P&M, maybe Antoniou, and that's about it. Oppenheim and Scafer write new books instead of updating the old ones. However, in my neck'o the woods, 'libraries' are considered to be wasted space and $$$. If you find something that is worth keeping, you'd better buy it yourself, for your own hard-earned money. And keep what you buy close. I remember getting back to my office from a long leave, only to find that my boss had lent out various copies of my personal books. He even accused me of stealing books when somebody couldn't find some book I had ordered on behalf of the institute, after I had left the place. The book was, of course, in some colleague's office.

From: Robert Orban on 23 Sep 2009 22:34 I highly recommend "Handbook for Digital Signal Processing", edited by Mitra and Kaiser. It is a group effort and the authors are outstanding.

From: davew on 25 Sep 2009 11:34 A lot of good suggestions - more than 20 - thanks. Lyons, R&G, and Proakis look like good first choices. I've already ordered a new copy of Rick's book and I'm looking forward to getting stuck in. I also managed to pick up a 2nd-hand copy of Signals & Systems Oppenheim which was handy and really cheap!
