What books on BizTalk 2006 would you recommend to a .NET developer wishing to get into development, configuration and customization of BizTalk solutions?

Perhaps a set of introductory items and also some titles on advanced BizTalk concepts.

+3  A: 

I like the Apress series of Biztalk books...

First Steps: Developing BizTalk Applications - Beginner
Foundations of BizTalk Server 2006 - Beginner
Pro BizTalk 2006 - Intermediate to Advanced

Also the book from Wrox

Professional BizTalk Server 2006

I would also spend some time at the following sites
www.biztalkgurus.com
www.biztalk247.com
msdn.microsoft.com/biztalk

Microsoft has some great white papers covering various angles of deploying and using the product: http://www.microsoft.com/biztalk/en/us/white-papers.aspx

The Operations Guide is something you should be familiar with and keep handy as a reference: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=5251F103-329D-4F8D-95B5-64F99F2F6DFC&displaylang=en
