Can somebody recommend a good textbook/handbook in the area of power
electronics? Something that covers all power supply topologies and gives
good circuit description and design procedures.
Thanks in Advance.

"Elements of Power Electronics" by Philip T. Krein Oxford University Press
Very comprehensive.
Try Unitrode (now Texas Instrument) and Bloom Associate library. They are highly technical content related to switching PSU technology. It cover magnetic as well.
All other book from shop and library are generally very dated, poorly described, waste of money and your time. Avoid they if you can....Bloom Associate has much better collection and alway updated from time to time.
Good luck

avoid "power electronics" by Cyril Lander, its utter crap.
anything published by TAB books is likewise crap.

Absolute best in my experience is Maniktala's excellent Switching Power Supply Design & Optimization, ISBN 0-07-143483-6. Full of practical information. I have Erickson, Pressmann, Billings, etc, but this is the best for actual use by a designer, especially if you're designing mains power converters (AC line to DC) for production. Paul Mathews
I'd second that, its pretty good.
