you can read all the books in this world but if you want to do good layout, you need to dirty your hands on real world problems in live projects. factors affecting a layout are much more
layout is a phase just before the tape out usually, so all the pressure due to delay in design phase come to layout engineer. you dont get enough time to do all the things discussed in these theory books.
so the point here is you should recognise what is important and what can be ignored. and this needs exposure to various types of designs.
secondly, depending on the shape and allowed size, your layout will vary a lot. ability to do good a floorplan is key to success. you cant get it from books
i dont say books give nothing. its good to read all the books in the world. but dont go overboard.

i'd say saint books are good enough to get started. read more on your way.

cheers .. good luck
