I stumbled onto the following books:
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Internals (Kalen Delaney)
SQL-SERVER MVP Deep Dives
SQL-SERVER MVP Deep Dives Volume 2
These look good value to me and a good set.
(I have read the internals for 7 and 2000 of Kalen Delaney and think they were exelent).
These three books represent about the amount of reading I can process and maybe the amount of money I can get my bos to spend.
Are there suggestions to improve this set? (Newer versions? Other books?).
If I have to choose two books to start with which two?
If I have to choose one :angry: book to start with which one?
(There are so many books, it is difficult to judge them all on content and quality).
Thanks all for your insights.

I got those 2 books for Christmas and then bought The 2008 Internals in May for my birthday. The MVP books are fantastic, and the money goes to a good cause. Outside of those books, there are some on RedGate's site that are downloadable for free that are great. http://www.red-gate.com/community/books/index I personally use Troubleshooting SQL Server: A Guide for the Accidental DBA by Jonathan Kehayias and Ted Krueger a bunch. Have also started reading SQL Server DMV Starter Pack to prepare for my new job.
