I consider "An Engineering Approach to Digital Design", William I. 
Fletcher, Prentice-Hall, 1980 (may be a new edition), to be excellent.
It covers synchronous system controllers with no uPs, since there's
a zillion other books on that.  Also includes a chapter on Asynchronous
Finite State Machine Design.  Altho' I haven't looked for it, I have
seen this material in no other text and I have applied it in past jobs
on more than 1 occasion.
It describes how to turn a flow chart of the algorithm into hardware.
