You might look into "The Little Mac OS X Book"
It has a very good review in the Washington Apple Pi Journal.  The 
following is a small clipping:

First off, The Little Mac OS X Book is not little. At slightly more 
than eight hundred pages, it is larger than an iBook. Second, it is 
by Robin Williams, one of the most celebrated computer book authors 
in the world, which means that it is brilliant. The illustrations, 
layout, writing and organization are extraordinary. Third, you need a 
copy if you use Mac OS X. You can read the rest of this review if you 
wish, but those three things alone probably cover everything you need 
to know.
