Zinn and the Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance. Best money you'll spend in your biking career. Amazon.com it stocked here.

Seriously, it's the most valuable $20 you'll ever spend.

Both Zinn and Barnett's are great resources. Do a Google for "Barnett's manual" and you can find most of the chapters from the manual, v4 and some of the chapters from manual v5.
