Book Suggestions

I would like to know if anyone has a suggestion of a book for biginners.
Reporting Services seems to be a very difficult thing to get informaion on.
The only thing that has been remotly helpful has been information from people
more expreianced. I would like book for reference. I ordered the book
"Hitchhiker's Guide to SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services". Is this one
going to be helpful or should I find another one too?The "Hitchhiker's Guide to SQL Server 200 Reporting Services" is an
excellent book.
You may also want to buy "SQL Server Reporting Services" by Wrox. Another
excellent book.
These 2 books would make a excellent edition to your book reference library.

I would also recommend the Hitchhiker's Guide.
If, as you say, you are green then the Microsoft Step by Step book
might be the easiest first book.
Hitchhiker's Guide will give you depth. Another good RS2000 book is
Teo Lachev's book from Manning.
The Wrox RS2000 book is good too.

Sometime during the last month.
I can't now recall if they are RS2000 or RS2005 webcasts.
Go to http://www.microsoft.com/events and then search the on-demand
webcasts.
