I have seen several requests for a good introduction to Digital Signal Processing. Perhaps the following posting lifted from comp.dsp fills the bill. Disclaimers: I have not seen this book. Also, when the author says the book is "non-mathematical" he is probably speaking from an engineer's point of view. It may be heavier going for the average ham.

YOU'VE GOTTA HAVE THIS BOOK!
"Digital Signal Processing: A Practical Approach", E. C. Ifeachor and B. W. Jervis, Addison-Wesley, 1993.
The world is full of books. Many of them are pretty good. Some of them are great. AND THERE ARE A FEW THAT ARE DOWN-RIGHT EXCITING! "Digital Signal Processing: A Practical Approach" (DSPAPA) is exciting (really).
This book will appeal to a large audience. Putting DSP before mathematics, DSPAPA gets down to business about how to put DSP to work. Used along with more theoretical texts it is a boon to the theoretical DSPers when they need to consider how to put that theory to work.
Newcomers to DSP or those practicing DSP without formal DSP backgrounds will find the book extremely useful as well. This book doesn't "assume the entire existing body of mathematics". Rather, it presents the necessary math and pointers to where to go for more as necessary. You will not get lost in the math--this book was written to help you get the DSP and put it to work.
Students of DSP will benefit by reading this book before studying the more theoretical treatments, or use it to help get a feel for what the theoretical books don't make clear. Professors will want to use this book for introductory courses to insure that their students get some practical knowledge painlessly. once the intuition is established the student can go deeper into the theory with a better understanding of what it's really all
about.
Algorithm implementers will like this book's practical approach. Chapter 12 even gives examples of implementations on DSP chips (TI chips were wisely chosen by the authors for these examples!).
Everyone will be happy to find hard copy of C routines for many DSP tasks. A disk containing all of these routines (source and PC executable) and code for the DSP chip examples is also available from the authors (I have not yet received mine but believe it will be a worthwhile investment).
When you buy this book, here's what you'll get:
