For a good book, I can recommend 'Running Linux' (2nd ed.) published by 
O'Reilly Associates.  I just bought this myself recently.  IMHO, O'Reilly 
publish excellent reference books on UNIX, and this one is no exception.

There is a bundled version of this book with Redhat, but obviously the CD 
won't be the latest distribution.  This is true of other book/CD bundles as 
well.  If you prefer to have the latest distributions then you should get the
book and CD separately.

The official Redhat CD (not the archive) does come with their own book,
but I haven't seen it so I can't comment.

Hope this helps
