Best Oracle book to buy under $58?

[antzzz]

Hi,

My company gave me a budget of $58 to buy any Oracle book. WE use Oracle 9i Rel 2 under Solaris 8 running on a Sun machine.

I've already downloaded all the Oracle manuals in PDF form.

Is there one book that I should really own and within my budget?

Pls advise

Thanks

Anything with the name Tom Kyte or Jonathon Lewis on the cover.

nothing with 'Oracle Press' on the cover

And I find you can get quite a few good, unused books on eBay in the $15 - $20 range (provided you're not in a hurry!).

I have a book called Oracle SQL*Plus Pocket Reference from O'Reilly that is pretty good. Brand new it cost $13. It is a handy little reference book for all your SQL*Plus interactions.
