I figure i'll be a bit more helpful than the smartass above... Go to
Please be more specific. Are you looking for books about best practices in embedded programming, or books that will teach you how to develop for some specific product?
"Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", purely because it's the best book on anything and everything, ever.

Thart more to do with hardcore than firmware?

It's not hardcore, but you'd have to read the book...
together with embedded.com check michael Barr's 'Programming Embedded in C and C++' there is another one called 'firmware demystified'' but I haven't check it so you'll have to google around or check amazon reviews about it.

There is a review of it on
The ACCU has reviews of over 3000 sw/computing books. These are reviews by named, working engineers who are part of the accu review team. The accu does this as a service to it's members as it does not sell books.
The reviews on Amazon are notoriously unreliable. I once got a (miss- directed) email from an author who was a lecturer telling his class of
50 to do favourable reviews of his book to boost its ratings in Amazon./\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ \/\/\/\/\ Chris Hills Staffs England /\/\/\/\/\ /\/\/ snipped-for-privacy@phaedsys.org
I think your advice was the most helpful. I will see if any local library carries the firmware demystified book by Ed Sutter.
That's an OK book for people looking at high-end (16/32-bit, with flash filesystems and networking) micros. It's less good for people dealing with small single-chip systems - but Sutter's writing style is pretty clear, the code examples are OK and the CD with a load of GCC ports is useful. If you get hold of Sutter's "Micro Monitor" package (which the book describes) there is a lot of good source code to read, too.

Yes, but which was the most accurate :-)
