“Logical Effort: Designing Fast CMOS Circuits,” n.d., 223. Additionally, if you are at this level you will have to study the technique of logical effort and using it to design circuits, for this I would recommend reading Sutherland, Ivan E, Bob F Sproull, and David L Harris. I think the Kang's book is much more begineer friendly than Rabaey. Now, if you wish to study how to actually translate an on paper circuit (with say NAND/NOR gates and flip-flops, registers yada yada), the standard book for this Digital Integrated Circuits by Rabaey et al., however I enjoyed reading CMOS Digital Integrated Circuits by Kang et al. This text is generally considered as introductory text for those interested in learning basics of Digital Design and to read advanced texts. If you have basic knowledge of digital circuits and want to take it a level further(like Karnaugh maps, state machines, timing analysis, verilog implementation) I would recommend reading Digital Design by Morris Mano.

To develop interest I would additionally recommend you to view Ben Eater's series on building an 8-bit computer from scratch.

If this is your first course in Digital electronics, like you want to start from what binary means, how to translate an equation to circuit all the way to the few basics of computer architecture (like the real basics of how a processor works on the fundamental level) I would recommend Digital Computer Electronics by Malvino. I have the following recommendations, however you do need to provide more details as to what you wish to learn so that I can tailor the suggestions to your requirement.
