From the reviews:

"I was very pleasantly surprised when I ... curled up with a book titled Hardware Verification with C++ ... . Published by Springer, this ... is a gem. ... the authors wrote with an easy-going style that makes the book a pleasure to read. ... Very few people can write a good book. Mike and Robert are firmly established in this ... category. ... I learned more about verifying hardware using C ++ ... with this book than I have in the last few years!" (Clive Maxfield, Programmable Logic Design Line, February, 2007)
