Tell me Wrox or Schildt or Microsoft Press for C# ?
I've purchased lot's of computer books in my 20 years of programming and generally feel books from O'Reilly press are of very high quality.





You might try them:

Keep in mind that so many language books will assume that you have some general understanding of programming. So take a good look at the Index to make sure that they get down to the level you are looking for.





Also, Amazon.Com will sometimes let you preview the first chapter of a book online before you purchase it.





Now, I hate to bad mouth anyone, but Microsoft has been awful in the book department. They seem to gear their books with a marketing slant. That is, they want you to learn some obscure new concept so that it catches on and becomes a trend. So, avoid MS Press at all costs.





Good luck
