Best book / content for .NET 3.5

Question

Hi,

I want to study new .NET 3.5 concepts like WPF, WCF for work as well as for interviews. I am aware of .NET 2 but do not have any detailed knowledge of .NET 3.5 and newly added features in .NET 3.5 and C#.

is there any good book/ online resource which would help me?
