This book is decent if you want to design your entire filter in a mathematical modeler and never plan to actually build a filter. There are no real world design examples with experimental results. The only experimental results given are what a circuit simulator spits out for a given prototype filter. It never even mentions diplexer and multiplexer design; one of the most important applications for filters today. Overall this book was very disappointing.
