There's a whole series of these, including cryptography![0] Probably shouldn't be linking to a pirated book though. There are previews on Amazon[1], and on the US publisher's site you can read the entire chapter on digital logic from the Microprocessors book[2]. It's quite good.

I love this series. I read them in college, including the Manga guide to calculus among others.
The site seems to be down. Likely hugged to death?
Conveniently mirrowed in the usual "shadow" libraries.
