By far, the number one reference on the BeagleBone Black is the System
Reference Manual:
https://github.com/CircuitCo/BeagleBone-Black/blob/master/BBB_SRM.pdf?raw=true

It's impressively complete.

However, that mainly covers the hardware. Since hardware doesn't change
as often as software (although it's becoming more that way) any other
reference is a snapshot in time, especially for Linux resources.

In increasing specificity, one would need (supplied with links to books
I like):

- A good Linux reference
http://www.nostarch.com/howlinuxworks.htm

- A good Debian reference
http://www.nostarch.com/debian.htm

- A good embedded Linux reference
http://www.amazon.com/Linux-Embedded-Systems-Experts-Voice/dp/1430272279

- A good Linux programming reference
http://www.nostarch.com/tlpi

The difficulty in writing books on the BeagleBone is that the community
moves incredibly fast. This is the sign of a healthy and vibrant
community.

p.s. There are, of course, great *free* resources too. One would have to
use a distrustful search engine to find them :p
