Avoid Janice Winsor's books. They're awful. I can attest to this from first-hand experience, and if you look on any site that allows reviews, other reviewers will bear me out on this point. God awful.
I do find The Solaris Operating Environment Boot Camp to be an excellent book. It covers a lot of ground in a very practical way. I'm very glad I found this book when I was starting out at a job with a lot of Solaris involvement.
