Summary: Convoluted Convolution
Comment: I remember reading this book for one of my courses back in college. It's pretty decent but, the section explaining convolution is atrocious. It's only 3-4 pages long and there are only two-in the entire book- examples given. The first, which is trivial, is worked out in detail. The second more realistic example is not. The reverse would have been more a more illuminating situation. This text does a very good job on the other topics covered. Be warned however that the constant shifting between discrete and continuous signals in the book probably will not be how those subjects are taught in a course. Consider using "Circuits, Signals, and Systems" as a supplement.

Summary: The right book
Comment: This book give you much than you need to understand the concepts as well as objective problems and advanced problems in the end of every chapter.
My advise: if you do care about your GPA more than you to understand concepts you may see other texts more helpful in this area and you can even get just the sheets of this book,otherwise this book will make you (as an undergraduate student) understand all the concept to start in DSP and comm.theories.

Summary: Excellent introduction to the topic
Comment: Having had this book for 2 semesters in a Signals and Systems course, I can say that it has done its job in presenting an in-depth and clear introduction to the topic. It is well-written, structured, comprehensive and has lots of challenging (and not so) exercises and examples.
A few comments on the latter: it seemed to me that the first 20 basic exercises at the end of each chapter were very basic, of the type "plug-in the formula from the table on the previous page", while the subsequent problems, especially the advanced ones, are way above the level of the former. Working out through those was meticulous, hard and very lengthy as compared to the basic stuff (the solutions provided by our instructor were of the order 1-2 typed pages per problem). Providing answers or at least general strategies would have been tremendously helpful. I am aware that there is a solutions manual, however the textbook itself is expensive enough.
The information was presented clearly, but I liked our professor's introduction to convolution more that the book's coverage. The sampling chapter was, at least to me and some of my fellows, a bit confusing and we had to, again, rely more on class notes.
Overall this is a good book, albeit very-very expensive (I was lucky enough to get a cheap Indian reprint).
