This is an excellent resource for your bookshelf. I've never contemplated using it as a textbook and thus am unsure of its utility for that purpose, but if you want a resource that you can turn to for a huge range of designs (simple discrimination, same-different, categorical ratings, ....), then this book is excellent. I haven't read other resources on the topic because this one is widely recognized as the definitive source for psychologists. It lives up to its billing.
