The main issue with that book is that it talks about BDDs in general, as opposed to the most common ROBDD that people are probably interested in.

Its a lot of 'spinning up' to start from branching programs and working your way to ROBDDs. In many ways, ROBDDs are easier than a lot of the stuff discussed earlier in the book.

So the layout probably should be reworked. But otherwise, the info is all there, and its good that the book hits "rock bottom" so to speak, with regards to theory.

What do you both think of "The Calculus of Computation" by Bradley and Manna?
