I have a copy of this.
However I find that these graphs appear somewhat inconsistent.
Figure 2-15 should be used for comparing the various logic families.
For a valid comparison the input frequencies and output frequencies 
should be the same.


When you actually critically examine the data, TTL is nowhere near as 
good as implied by the text.
This book is somewhat variable in the quality of its information.
Some of it is very good, some of it is just incorrect.
