I see it has 1996 publication date. 25 years old and still relevant/useful.

I'ma search this book now. Today I'm getting my first DL class. I'm using Dive into Deep Learning and a Brazilian book - Redes Neurais Artificiais by Antônio de Pádua

I didn't know he had a book focused specifically on NN. I put my hands on his other one (Pattern Recognition and ML, published in 2006 it seems) some five years ago and it is awesome, and I still read some sections of it even today.
