Unfortunately there is no one book or even two books that cover all of the material in this course. The slides and handouts will contain everything we talk about in class, but you may want to consult some of the following texts for specific topics. All of the following texts except Sternheim are on reserve in the Engineering Library. In addition, I have put several of my own digital design books in the LIS lab (Sieg 424). Please don't take them out of the lab.
There are many texts that cover digital design. Katz[1] has become a standard text and discusses the role of CAD and programmable devices. Wakerly[5] is a more traditional nuts-and-bolts text that uses standard parts, but it has lots of good examples and exercises. McCluskey[2] gives a more formal treatment of logic design.
Ward and Halstead[6] contains lots of material presented at a fairly basic level. About half the topics covered in class are covered to some extent in this book.
There are no really good books on Verilog and hardware design languages. Both Thomas[4] and Sternheim[3] are reasonable standard texts though.
