Heavy reading.

Seismic Data Processing, SEG Investigations in Geophysics No. 2, Society of Exploration Geophysicist
s, 1987, Yilmaz. Very good, but probably not worth purchasing unless you have a lot of extra money, enjoy carrying extremely heavy books or are seriously considering a career in seismic processing. A new, even heavier and more expensive 2 volume version is out now also.

Light reading.
