Since starting my SPS project last year I have read both the Microsoft SPS Resource Kit cover to cover and SharePoint Portal Server: A Beginners Guide. Okay books but they are more of an overall this is what you can do, not a "how to do it" manuals. Last night I got my copy of The Administrators guide to SPS 2001. This book rocks! If you are looking for the in depth detailed information that is going to make your SPS server run better. This is the book for you. The information on indexes alone is worth the price to me.
If you are a SharePoint administrator or are looking to deploy SharePoint, this book is for you. No one explains the intricaies of SharePoint Portal Server as clearly as Bill English does. The book is superb with both technical information and easy to follow examples which enable the reader to quickly exploit the benifits of SharePoint Portal Server.
