As a newbie of two and a half months I found one book "Debian GNU/Linux 
2.1" From SAMS (ISDN 0672317001) but that 2.1 bit does make a real 
difference now that we are on 2.2.

Here are some urls I've found particularly useful:
www.debian.org/releases/potato/installguide/ is a really useful walk 
through of the install with plenry of robust advice on what matters and 
what doesn't.

www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/index.en.html is the Apt Howto 
(English language version). One debian book I would love to see is an 
exhaustive guide to the whole debian package management system.
