Great question, I've been looking for something similar myself. I've been belatedly learning how to solder, working on serial->parallel converters for LCD/VFD modules. Matrix Orbital sent me a couple of crappers, so I'm learning all I can to see if I can fix them.

I'd definitely like to know how to determine the amount of noise and interference introduced into wiring/soldering. I wonder how much of that would be in this book.
