I have these books. It appears as if "The VHDL Training Package" is a
collection
of notes...
The preface says "intended as a set of training notes for a VHDL
training class and are intended to be used in conjunction with the
following books:
Real chip design and verification using verilog and VHDL
component design by example
VHDL coding styles and methodologies
VHDL answers to frequently asked questions
But there is no order mentioned. Which book to read first? All at
once? Are there instructions somewhere on how to use this training
package?

Mr. Cohen's books are well written and valuable, but I recommend this
book for the beginner:

What happened to Ben Cohen?
the books mention
http://www.vhdlcohen.com/, and they were published
2002. The webpage no longer exists. I don't see any recent posts on
this newsgroup made by him.
He seems to have relocated to
http://systemverilog.us/
where it says that he has teamed up with
Stu Sutherland for training.

I've been reading the "beginner" books for a few years. I am
comfortable with VHDL, although not with styles or methods.
the Ben Cohen training package looks to be very well written, but I
don't understand which comes first. Read them in sequence, together,
constantly cross reference, or what?

Have a look at the verificationguild and search for his *comments* on VHDL.

Ashenden also has advanced books, you may consider those.
For "styles and methods" Cohen's 'VHDL Coding Styles and
Methodologies' was useful to me. I question the value of reading all
the others.
