I second Jim's recommendation about the Castro book. Peachpit Press in  
general does an amazing job of condensing a tome's worth of highly  
detailed technical information into a small book that's easy to  
understand. I also recommend Steve Holzer's "Inside XML"; again, dated  
but useful, especially since it has good XML programming examples in  
several different languages.
