For timing specifically, I recommend "Static Timing Analysis for Nanometer Designs: A Practical Approach" by Bhasker and Chadha.

It doesn't really focus on theory but more the principles of timing analysis and how to wrangle chip design tools into complying with your desired compromises in order to achieve your goals.

That book is really great if it’s your job to write timing constraints. If you’re interested in timing theory I think this is a bit better.
