Good analog design book(s)
(OP)
I have recently been offered an excellent oportunity, however it is one which will require significant analog and digital design skills. Can someone recommend a good book or books for analog design? I have my BS in EE, but I know I have a lot to learn before I am proficient in analog design.
Thanks! Any tips or suggestions on learning would be greatly appreciated!

A) Design of discrete transistor/FET circuits?
B) Power transistor/MOSFET circuit and switchmode/switch regulated power supply design?
C) Low noise/small signal/high gain op-amp circuit design?
D) High speed op-amp circuit design? (where analog borders on RF).
E) High speed transmission line/impedance matched/digital circuit buss/clock design? (where analog borders on digital and RF).
F) Extreme temperature analog design? (i.e. down-hole instruments or vehicle electronics).
G) Sensor/sensor circuit interface design?
H) Active Filter design and/or LRC filter design? (borders on the DSP and RF worlds).
I) Analog IC or RFIC design? (Analog design in the semiconductor fabrication world).
There are excellent books that are tailored to some of the specific areas listed above. The best real-world (non-textbook) books are the ones that come with some manufacturers seminars (i.e. Analog Devices, National Semi, Texas Instruments, and app notes published by these companies and Linear Technology, Maxim, Burr Brown (now TI) plus other linear device manufacturers.

Very readable, full of real-world examples, plus examples of how to do it wrong.

It is available wherever you can get NS databooks.
Also another vote for "The Art of Electronics" Very good book.
"Switching power supply design" by Abraham Pressman.
"Design with operational amplifiers and analog integrated
circuits" by Sergio Franco.
"High speed digital design , a handbook of black magic"
by Howard Johnson and Martin Grahm
These are my favorites

I personally find that the compendium sort of books are ok as a quick reference but tend not to go into a great deal of detail (or they'd be even heavier and bigger than they are already).
I'd vote for the Art of Electronics too.
Bob Pease's books are a good read. Troubleshooting Analog Circuits is good for when things go a bit haywire.
Analog Circuit Design, Art Science and Personalities Edited by Jim Williams is worth a look.
The Circuit Designer's Companion by Tim Williams gives pointers on some of the things to do and not to do.

I hope I can get some typical circuits such as backup battery switching circuit from that book. Our current backup battery switching circuit seems to cause some problems and I don't know if I have any other alternatives. Also I once met some problems in driving an AC powered motor and it generated spikes. Later we found out we should put RC network for inductive load. I hope this reference book may provide such "common senses" on those things.
BTW, I read some recommendations for: The Mythical Man-Month, and was tempted to buy that one too. Do you have any comment on that one? Thanks. ^_^
I will check the content and comments for "The art of electronics" too.

We used to call it the bible at University!
Very good book.

My particular field of interest is switchmode power supply design, particularly the magnetics. The best book I have seen on the subject is "Switchmode Power Supply Handbook" by Keith Billings ISBN 0-07-005330-8

By the way, i've studied power electronics by a book called Electronique de puissance written by a french guy

If you are into CMOS digital and analog circuit design, Dr.Jacob Baker's "CMOS Circuit Design Layout & Simulation" is an excellent one.
