I am looking around for some books on Drupal to get me up to speed on Drupal - I am going to utilize Drupal for one of my personal projects - for Deaf Awareness Month (A month long event that we have every year) So any suggestions on some good books - Will be using Drupal 7 - I have looked at this book - http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTitle/Beginning-Drupal.productCd-047043...
Or would I be wasting my money on that?
Suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated - its been a long while since I had messed with Drupal and now with Drupal 7 I am even more intrigued with the CMS.
Thanks!

That's also good, I have one
That's also good, I have one more suggested for you http://apress.com/book/view/1430228598. This is really for those who want to start with Drupal 7.
I've got the APress book
I haven't seen the Wrox book, but I've got the ebook version of the APress book Truyen suggested, Beginning Drupal 7. I'm actually liking it a bit more than Using Drupal. However, it may be because I've got a bit more experience with Drupal than I did when I first got Using Drupal.
Speaking of Using Drupal, anyone have any ideas when a "Using Drupal 7" or something similar will be out from O'Reilly? I LOVE their ebooks. The big drawback of the Apress books (at least in my eyes) is they use a secured PDF, instead of the various 'real' ebook formats ORA uses.
O'Reilly
According to their site, the 2nd edition isn't due until August of 2011. Of course that's an estimated date.

I haven't had much luck with the secure PDFs on my Nook being formatted well. The O'Reilly epubs on the other hand, look great. The other cool thing about O'Reilly is you can upgrade your existing ebooks with their new editions for 50% off. I read that somewhere. :-)
