The Linux book is quite good and is used by the local community college
in their Linux course.  I have found it particularly useful when I have
to do something on Debian or SuSE since there are differences and the
book covers those in addition to RedHat/Clones.  The book is not
directed at flat out beginners, but slightly more advanced.

The SAMs books have been good in the past, though I have not looked at
any of the ones since RH 6.2.

As suggested by another a book for RedHat Enterprise 4 would be directly
applicable, and ones covering Fedora Core 3 would be the next closest
and probably are in the bargain bin now.
