Are you looking for a more practical book about how to use and program, microcontrolers? If so, I can recommend Embedded C Programming and the Microchip PIC by Barnett, Cox and O'Cull.
Are you looking for a book on design of microcontroller silicon?
If you intend do develop your own circuits and firmware please get in touch through email. I can send some material to you. Are you interested in a particular mcu type or brand? Is it for use at home? What are your skills in electronics?
