FreeBSD Unleashed is the only one I bought a few years ago and it's
quite good though there's nothing more than what you find in the

It costs only 60$ for both volumes of the handbook on paper and there
is CD+Hanbook Vol 1 bundle for the same price. Vol.1 covers pretty
much everything a new user should know in the first hours..
