Aidan,
I'm afraid this is a negative one as well, but on
the strength of Amazon ratings I bought a very expensive
M$ Press book called something like "SQL Server 7.0
Database Implementation Kit" which did include a
3-month eval of the DBMS but was very superficial.
The only use I've found for it is that my 3-year-old
daughter (4 tomorrow now I come to think of it)
keeps some treasured belongings inside the box cover.
For MS-SQL reference purposes I use the Books Online,
which really is excellent, and/or the M$ web site.
I believe the O'Reilly SQL book does a good job of
explaining different SQL dialects & a lot of people
here have recommnded Joe Celko's SQL for Smarties and
also one by Ben in the past.. haven't looked at any
of them though.

I bought Lan Times Guide to SQL, and it was a good book to get my feet wet.
It doesn't get into anything SQL Server specific though, and sticks to the
standards. I also got the black Using SQL Server 7 from Que. I was totally
underwhelmed, stay away from it.
I now have 2 of the SQL Server 2000 Complete Reference books from Osborne
which are great but 2000 specific so they wont help you.
I'm not much help, but more info never hurts...
