Someone had mentioned on this list the following RedHat Enterprise 7 (and as you know CentOS is binary replica of RedHat Enterprise with replaced art work):

so if I buy RHEL 7 books everything should work as in the book? part of the problem for me is that there aren't many books about CentOS, and the ones I found are a few years old
This covers CentOS 7 system administration sufficiently well for me (but I work with Linux and Unix for over 1.5 decades...).
So, if you decided to walk away from Windows, after you master Linux (or maybe simultaneously with starting it), take a look at Unix successors such as FreeBSD (most suitable for servers IMHO, some may recommend OpenBSD for servers, my preference is FreeBSD), NetBSD (most rich with what is ported to build and run on it), PC-BSD - based on FreeBSD, yet made easiest to install workstation whith GUI interface (X11) support.
I understand, but this is primarily for servers for emails, web, etc., and it is my understanding that CentOS is one of the better distributions for that kind of stuff.
Just my $0.02

Thank you for your 2 :)
