If you read or browse enough *general* DSP books, you will
find that their main structure is almost the same, they
treat the same sujects in the same order. My personal
pereference is Proakis & Manolakis over the similar text by
Oppenheim and Schafer. That's because I used P&M in class
when I first learned DSP. It's a matter of personal
preference rather than a thorough evaluation.

There are a few texts, though, that somehow break with
the 'standard' patterns:

Bendat and Piersol: "Random Data" (2000) - Focuses on
how to use DSP methods and techniques to analyse data

Rick Lyons: "Understanding DSP" Focuses on those who do
not learn DSP in university, taking the presentation
to a level understandable to anyone

Antoniou: "Digital Signal Processing. Signals, Systems and Filters"
Focuses on filter design.

Oppenheim and Schafer "Digital Signal Processing" (1975)
One of the first in the field.

Apart from these and maybe a couple more, the variation between
books is mainly in the phrasing and in the details in examples.
If you have access to many books, by all means, read on, but
be aware of these main patterns. If you want to send hard-earned
cash on books, make sure you know why any particular book is
worth *your* money.
