It is not a book students should use for the first time to learn general concepts but rather an invaluable reference for the rest of your life. Many people including myself see it as the bible but there are people who see it as a curse upon planet earth and for those people I suggest you use Haykin or Sklar, although they don't have the same level of thoroughness.
All in all this is a very good reference book, which should be on the shelf of any researcher working in digital communications engineering
A good contrast is Simon Haykin's Communications Systems, which is not as in-depth, but far better explained and more accessible.
If people are trying to use this book to understand general concepts for the first time then good luck I doubt you get very far......... better stick with Haykin, Sklar, Roden or even Lathi. Haykin is probably the compromise between overly simple Roden and more challenging Proakis.
Proakis' book was not made for people to start learning things from scratch, instead it is a classic reference book and I think people should only criticise it if they know what they are talking about. I mean the reviewer before me was saying something about Prof. Proakis not understanding the concepts or something like that and I find that rather amusing since the guy is one of the greatest pioneers in the field.
I was educated in UK and so I find American books a little mathematical since the mathematics level for undergrads in this country is not to the level of undergrads in the US (or we are led to believe), but I always make a point to understand the maths because concepts without maths don't mean much since they don't get to the nitty-gritty of the ideas.
Again I stress this book is a reference book and should only be touched by experienced hands. It is not sugarcoated text for people who like nice readable textbooks. Maybe In the next addition that should be written in the back of the book but perhaps it won't sell as many copies.
Anyway before you buy this book and complain think about what you are using it for. It you are trying to learn things for the first time then go buy Haykin if however you are at a higher level, buy this book because it is a comprehensive and solid reference book (the Bible).
