Hwang's book on Computer Arithmetic is pretty good, although a little dated.

Waser and Flynn are a bit more recent. 

Be sure to read Gosling's paper "Tricks of the (Floating Point) Trade",
in one of the Computer Arithmetic Conferences.

Sorry that these references are vague.  I am doing a survey of computer
arithmetic - I'd post my bibliography, except (silly me) I hand wrote it.
As always, I invite correspondence on computer arithmetic topics.

(BTW - folks who responded to my last query on Computer Arithmetic - 
any objections if I post a summary?  I'll avoid names and details 
unless you specifically give permission)
