As always when it is about books I recommand to look at
http://www.mcp.com/personal/
There you can get ONLINE for free full books like the great
Java 1.1 Unleashed of Sams and another about 15-20 (!) titles about Java.
It is true that not all of them are very new, but there are some very
fresh titles like the Java 1.1 Unleashed third edition.
