The JavaTM Developers Almanac
Order from Amazon.com

by Patrick Chan

OK, so this isn't a Tutorial book, but we recommend it anyway. The JavaTM Developers Almanac is the most up-to-date and complete quick reference for all three major versions of the core Java Class Libraries (1.0, 1.1, and 1.2). No other quick reference includes as much information in a single convenient volume. Information from 1,500 classes and 17,000 members are carefully formatted and arranged for easy lookup.
