I'm not in a position to recommend one or the other of the publishers you've
mentioned. Personally, i don't particularly like any of them. Other than an
MSPress publications, i'ld probably mention Sybex because of the high
quality of their material:
http://www.sybex.com/sybexbooks.nsf/0/d1507b55b3339d4c88256bca00626e19
There are too many poor books out there. Its just not economicly sound to
buy a how-it-works manual when you can get a book that deals with the whole
picture.
For a basic subject on how to install W2K Pro try:
