Query: Finally a hands-on approach to analog IC layout!

Books on layouting integrated circuits that are practical and don't use an overwhelming amount of maths are very hard to find. But now Alan Hastings has come up with "The Art of Analog Integrated Circuits". Based on his own experience as a circuit and layout designer, he covers every aspect of IC layouting, covering bipolar, CMOS and BiCMOS. He uses a hands-on approach, trading maths for intuitive insights, and gives pointers to overcome real-world problems (somewhat like the other "The Art of..." electronics book!). Important topics include failure mechanisms (ESD, latch-up, ...), matching, device merging, guard rings, high-voltage devices and many more. In short, THE book for anyone that needs an introduction into analog IC layout.
