When I needed an XML primer I went to Half Price Books and bought Elizabeth Castro's XML for the World Wide Web and XML by Example from Que.
The two books together cost $15 bucks and i refer to the "by Example" book quite a lot. As for SQL Server I have the hardback Microsoft SQL Server 7 book and I mostly read stuff online for updates. Windows Server books I always go with Minasi's "Mastering" (SYBEX) books. The last one I owned was NT4 but I have seen Windows 2000. I don't know if there is a Windows 2003 Server book out from him, but if there is, buy it. I may have to buy a new book though as I am now delving into SQL Server 2005... > Alright.
