Here is a book that covers the basics, based on VS2005 (Beta 1, I presume).

http://catalogs.mhhe.com/mhhe/viewProductDetails.do?isbn=0073215880

The authors, and their series of books on Visual Basic .NET have an
excellent reputation in college/university circles.
That said, I would not buy this book. I agree with Cor, that you should make
do with online resources until Beta 2 is released. You'll then see a flood
of books released on VB 2005, v2 of the .NET Framework, etc.
