www.ora.com :-) A geek's best bookstore. ORA is known for quality (which I can personally attest to) and they have some great books for opensource technologies of all sorts. It's also for the most part very well written in that you can read their books for more than an hour at a time to absorb information and also quickly reference back to the information you need later.
