Lee or Razavi

Razavi's RF Microelectronics is also a nice book!

Lee or Razavi

i think abidi's paper is a good choice

Lee is definitely better. More practical and well explained.

Razavi introduces many physical concepts except the mathematical equation.

If you work just in analog domain then I think: this books isn't the best. (Razavi: Analog CMOS IC design is good)
if you work in the RF domain as well then:
both, but before them any other book which contain the basics of the electronics, integrated circuits and microwave techniques.
For example (Gray&Meyer, Sedra&Smith and for microwave Pozar, Gonzalez,...)
