Summary: Surprisingly Shallow
Comment: Like any book that tries to cover "everything" it ends up superficial. I have worked in analog design for close to 8 years and I tought at a top analog school in california. I find this book a disappointment. It tries to cover digital CMOS but it fails because it doesn't go into neither high speed implementation artifacts nor state of the art low speed architectures (Use Rabaey or Neil Weste if you're serious about digital CMOS). As for analog design, the book wastes a jungle-worth of paper on layers and layout rules but never goes into the real problems in layout. If you truly want to know about layout, go to the unparalleled reference by Alan Hasting. As for Analog circuit design, the coverage is very shallow and is not useful at all. No real implementation problems and no state of the art coverage. The best analog circuit design books in my opinion are (in order of prefernece) 1: Jones and Martin 2: Gray and Meyer (mostly BJT though) 3: Razavi's Analog circuit design book. Use any of these books if you're serious about circuits. As for Baker's book, I wouldn't recommend it for the serious and I wouldn't pick it for a class I teach. I'm truly surprised that IEEE press would publish this book!!!

Summary: This IS an excellent textbook!
Comment: I'm finishing up a video course in analog IC design. This book was recommended to me by a co-worker to help understand the course material. While it wasn't the course textbook (in my opinion it should have been) it did contain all of the course topics. It provided numerous examples and clear discussions. The book's website was invaluable for the solutions to problems and SPICE simulation examples (it also had a free SPICE simulator and a layout program for windows!).
The level of the book is at the senior/graduate level. I recommend that any student interested in custom analog or digital IC design get it. I would also say, from my colleagues input, that it is also a very good reference book.
In summary, it is one of the few books I have purchased with such a hefty price that I felt was worth it!

Summary: Book's Problem Solutions and Figures
Comment: The solutions to the end-of-chapter problems and the figures seen in "CMOS Circuit Design, Layout, and Simulation," are found at the book's website. They are in pdf format and can be downloaded (for free) by anyone.
