I have the new edition right here on my desk.  It's a remarkable value for the price, and I'd sure want it handy before needing to deal with a large BGA, even if you've done them before.  However it is aimed at large BGA's; I don't see that it has much to say specifically about fine pitch.  (Is there a definition for 'fine pitch' re BGA's?  I'd guess <.8mm).  But I'm pretty sure there is general information there that is applicable anyway.  My only gripe with it is that there is no index.  Remarkably little of it is Mentor-specific.  I recommend it highly.

Have you looked at the book by Charles Pfeil from Mentor Graphics?  I have an earlier version it looks pretty good.  You can buy it on Amazon for $23.35 (http://www.amazon.com/BGA-Breakouts-routing-Effective-Methods/dp/1438255233/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1222708001&sr=8-2 )

Does anyone know a good reference book or standard that provides guidelines for footprint and escaping of fine pitch BGAs?
