My experience with the "web" technology books is that they usually aren't worth the paper they are printed on. You can probably get a lot of information online, but buying a book for something you are talking about it mostly an exercise in frustration.
I hope there is one out there, but I have been burned too many times. I guess my expectations were too high having read things like "the mythiical man month" "peopleware" "effective c++" "code complete" "design patterns", etc - lots of classics - the newer stuff is so new there aren't enough reviews of the books out there to know if they are worth the effort to read.
That with the ubiquity of samples, web sites like this, blogs, online help make going to a book for specific new technologies dubious.
