You might want to check out "Programming C#" by Jesse Liberty, 3rd edition, pub. O'Reilly, ISBN 0-596-00489-3.
The 3rd edition has complete coverage of .NET 1.1 and in this edition they added VS.NET 2003, but not too much (50 pages out of 700 something). I would recommend it to anyone. Its a great book for a beginner and a pro.
