I have never found the "perfect" book. I have five and none of them
cover everything you need. Some are good for a beginner. Some are good
as references. One has both Verilog and VHDL which lets you compare the
two. None solve all my problems when I need help. Also, I haven't
opened any of them in over a year, maybe two or three. I normally use
any of the *many*, many online references including the Doulos web site
which has a great deal of useful info.

Whatever book you end up with, be sure it includes details of VHDL-2008.
2008 is such an improvement over the previous versions that it would
be foolish (in my opinion) to code without using it.

Perhaps you can tell us where you are in learning VHDL and what you hope
to learn from the book?

I like The Designer's Guide to VHDL (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0120887851?pc_redir=T1) which covers the language very well. I've also started to read Effective Coding with VHDL (https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/effective-coding-vhdl) which has a focus on reusing, where applicable, SW best practices on VHDL. So far I've read a few of those chapters and they are good. Nothing new really but I haven't seen this kind of information in a book on VHDL before. Much of this is missed by many VHDL developers so the book worth reading.

I purchased that book and it arrived yesterday, it did look like a good
book. I bought it for $18 , brand new, I just looked now and the prices
have doubled.

I've also started to read Effective Coding with VHDL
(https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/effective-coding-vhdl) which has a focus
on reusing,
where applicable, SW best practices on VHDL.

So far I've read a few of those chapters and they are good. Nothing new
really but I haven't seen this kind of information in a book on VHDL before.

A little more expensive, $40 for a used copy but looking inside, it
seems to be a decent book. Not available as a Kindle book, if it was I
buy it right now.

It is available as an eBook (though not Kindle) for $38. This page has information on the available formats and readers:
