Reddit reviews Modern Communications Receiver Design and Technology (Artech House Intelligence and Information Operations)

I also agree that Microwave Transistor Amplifiers by Gonzalez is a great book. It's very much a microwave/RF theory book and my brother just aqcuired it. I'll be able to refer to it for a while but may one day add it to my collection as well. I just bought Cornell Drentea's Modern Communication Receiver Design and Technology. Drentea's book was aimed to be a textbook but is not quite what one would consider a textbook so it never really took off. However, It's a great book for the practical application of transceiver design techniques and is a great reference to anyone interested in RF circuits design, not just RF theory (lets use what we know!).
