A good book is _Digital_Bus_Handbook_ by Joseph Di Giacomo published
by McGraw-Hill.  It has chapters on all the major buses except EISA,
SBus, and Mbus.  (Can anyone explain why Sun capitalized the 'B' in
SBus but not in Mbus?)  Each bus chapter is written by an authority
on the subject.

The latter third of the book are chapters on basic principles, like
transmission lines, crosstalk, connectors, etc.  Again, the chapters
are written by selected experts on each subject.

I really like this book.
