Which VB.NET books do you recommend??? (was 'Transitioning from VB6 to VB.Net')

I've altered the Subject Line to a question I posted the other day
because I've found that (though I got a couple very helpful responses)
my original question was a little restrictive.

My real *general* question is: which VB.Net books do you find
indespensible?

Thanks in advance.

I've bee reading Programming Microsoft Visual Basic 2005: The
Language by Francesco Balena and i am thoroughly impressed with it.
I am not transitionig from vb6, but it has a great deal of refernces
for folks that are. It goess deep into the .net framework and assumes
you have some experience - it is not a how to or step by step book. It
shows you why thigs do what they do, not just how to do it.
