I came by the following from another forum, the relevant excerpt is reproduced here.
I don't recommend against many books, but please skip anything written by Martin Hollman. His technical stuff is a mixed bag of OK engineering and erroneous stuff (he takes shortcuts, uses fractions of the real analysis, etc.) , and you have to know which is which up front to be safe about it, which makes it pretty much useless to learn from. A classic case of someone violating the old adage "If you don't think too well, don't think too much". Avoid it.
The above post relates to a topic, 'What resources have you used?'
By posting the above I'm not suggesting for one minute that I agree or disagree with the comments. I've got one of his books and as I mentioned previously I'm not impressed with the quality of publishing but I'll read it anyway, along with other references I've got. In time I'll be able to, hopefully, make my own judgements.
