Book recommendation

Looking for an overview book on SQL Server 2000, can anyone recommend a Titl
e
or Good author?
Id like to learn the basics and how to use query analyser to manager the
database setup. Also the book can show what are the SQL functions (such as
date manipulation) and how to use them.
Thanks.What about Books Online?
