Summary: Know what you're buying
Comment: As a graduate student in DSP, I highly recommend this book to anybody who would like to get an overview of digital signal processing. However, you should know what you're buying. Download the free version from the website first to check it out. This is not a textbook for a DSP course. Treat it as you would an encyclopedia -- you don't use the encyclopedia to do major research, you use it to get an introduction to the topic and get ideas on what you want to pursue. Some mathematically-inclined people are able to understand what the equations are saying right away, but others may need to learn through different ways. This book offers that alternative way, by explaining in understandable English what's going on. To grasp the real beauty and applications of DSP, you'll still need to eventually use the equations, but this book is a good start to gaining insight in what those equations mean.

Summary: This is the best book I have ever seen on DSP's
Comment: Steven W. Smith has updated his previous book, "Scientist and Engineer's Guide to DSP", with a bit more material, better typesetting, and an added section with program listings and also a software CD.
I went to the technical section of the best bookstore in my area, and looked through several books on this topic. Without a doubt, this one was the most clearly written and informative.
My technical background is that I have a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, my native language is English, and I have never taken a course on DSP's. I have read a bit about digital signal processors, and used some electronic equipment (lock-in amplifier) that was DSP-based. I am interested in learning about processing video image arrays, and audio and real time instrumentation signals. (I am including this information so that you can get an idea of whether your impression will be similar to mine.)

Summary: If your a dsp engineer (or student) DON'T BUY IT!!
Comment: I was looking for a reference book and read all the rave reviews about this particular book. Once I got it home I was extremely disappointed. It's more of an overview than anything else. This book was definitely written for non-electrical/computer engineers. If your not an electrical/computer engineer and interested in signal processing then this book is for you, otherwise, don't waste your money. There's absolutely no math (derivations) in this book.
