Dean's book is great.  Can you print from the pdf? Back in version 3 or 
so, it was one of those "can't print" pdf files (which I'm sure could be 
broken by a non Adobe reader).

So I bought a printed copy - worth every penny of the $15.

It's the book I hand out to people when they start asking about how to 
do a PLL circuit.  "Here, this book is sort of like the master 
application note...Read it and start finding out what went wrong."
