I can highly recommend the BIBLE series of computer reference books. I own 3: Dreamweaver 2 Bible, Access 97 Bible and Windows 98 Bible. They are all in daily use and are invaluable to me as reference tools. They are normally around the £40 ($50) price but are undoubtedly excellent value for money. Each book usually comes with a CD packed with tutorials, help files, examples and other useful programs. As a learning aid to programs they are brilliant and I believe they are second to none.

The books are published by IDG Books and there are many titles available covering a wide range of topics. With each book containing about 1000 pages you can't fail to find the answers to any queries you have.
