Good Solaris Books?

Hey everyone,

Just to introduce myself, I'm a long time Windows admin who's being thrust headfirst into the world of Unix! We're taking on another business line that has a few Solaris 9 systems, so I need to get up to speed... or at least be able to SOUND like I am!

I took an intro to Unix class, and I think I have a basic understanding, but now I need to get into the deeper and darker stuff... and something more specific to Solaris.

I'd like to find out if anyone has any recommendations on a good Solaris book to further my understanding. Or, maybe it's best that I track down a Solaris 9 class or something.

Thanks in advance!
