At work, we recently switched from VSS to SVN. Unfortunately, I have never used anything other than VSS. So the new features still feel quite awkward. I understand enough to get latest, update and commit; however, I am interested in a book that describes practical usage and best practices. Any suggestions?

Here's my favorite: Version Control with Subversion

Version Control with Subversion, it's an O'Reilly book freely available on the web. That one is a good start.

One that describes more process-related stuff, is Pragmatic Version Control with Subversion.

Version Control with Subversion is the best place to start. Plus the electronic versions are free (you can order a hardcopy as well from O'Reilly).

The O'Reilly book recommended here several times already is great. You should read it.

And if you're coming from VSS then you owe it to yourself to read Eric Sink's series of articles on source control. They're a great help in getting a handle on various concepts that won't necessarily be familiar to you if you've only known The SourceSafe Way.
