Does anyone have a good classicasp book they can reccommend, including best practices, good design. I am stuck in Classicasp land and I want to make sure I do it right.
Please up vote the best one.

Two part series (but the same book if you push them back to back)
If you have been working with Classic ASP previously, and understand core computing concepts well, then you could skip the Beginning book.
I would also want someone that knows of a good Jscript (not vbscript) ASP book to hopefully reply, I have been searching for sometime now and haven't found a good one.
I liked the ASP 3.0 Visual Blueprint book. It was a pretty good reference book and didn't contain too much info.
O'Reilly's "JavaScript: The Definitive Guide" is a must-have if you're going to be using JScript. Although it doesn't cover ASP directly, it is an excellent reference book for JavaScript.
I agree about the O'Reilly Javascript book, however my favourite ASP book is
Sams Teach Yourself Active Server Pages 3.0 in 21 Days (Sams Teach Yourself...in 21 Days)
It covers the very basic stuff, and includes good practise, although I could never get the Stored Procedure code to work.
For a more advanced take I recommend:
Designing Active Server Pages: Scott Mitchell's Guide to Writing Reusable Code
This really goes into detail about reuse and admin pages.
I enjoyed my ASP programming days, don't despair, it's a really neat scripting language!
