His book on coding theory was an epiphany for me....
ie. Most books on technical are hard to understand, not because the subject is so hard, but because most author's are crappy at writing books and explaining there field.
Hamming is an example of how are hard topic could be made readable.
His chapter on error correction codes on the You and Your Research book made me finally understand why they work so well. That after undergrad classes, a couple of books, and way too many articles on the subject.
Is there any chance he wrote a book on complex analysis?
My dad (now data science/stats professor) was at the 1986 version of this talk at Bellcore (where he spent almost two decades working). He speaks glowingly of it.
