"Microsoft Windows XP Professional Resource Kit"
3d Edition
Microsoft Press
Redmond, WA
Copyright 2005
ISBN 0-7356-2167-5
Microsoft part number: X11-0864

Make sure you do NOT get a 1st or 2nd edition, those editions do not cover
Service Pack 2, an important set of security, performance, and usability
updates (and kills a number of bugs too.)

Amazon.com offers a MUCH better price than Barnes & Noble:
* Amazon.com price: $37.79 US w/ free shipping
* Barnes & Noble price: $59.99 US w/ free shipping, $53.99 if you have
their discount card
