Book Recommendation

Using Crystal XI with Oracle 9.

Can anyone recommend a good book for working with Crystal? The on-line documents are good when you know what you are looking for. I am looking for a book that explains how to solve problems with Crystal.

What are you using Crystal for?

Check out Ken Hamady's site (he's one the crystal wizards here) for tutorials and training:

I will be (and have been) using Crystal to create fairly complex reports off of Oracle 9 tables. I have just now been given a new requirement to create reports off of XML data files as well. I am not using Crystal's SDK nor am I using it as a part of any of Microsoft's tools. Therefore, I am looking for a good book or two geared towards Crystal development in these kinds of environments.

I looked at Ken's site and, while I may consider purchasing one or more of his technical papers, it would probably be more cost-effective, and more importantly, more easily handled by my company's accounts payable department, if I purchase a book from Amazon.

Can anyone make any recommendations?
