What was your problem?
- the circuit : use simulation software and/or build your circuit on a
(solderless) breadboard first
- the PCB did not reflect the circuit : use a tool that warns you when
circuit and PCB do not agree (I like eagle)
- the PCB layout affects your circuit : that's the difficult one. there
is a lot to say about this, specifying your specific problem might help
others (who are more knowledgeable than me) to recommend a book.
