Book reccomendations please


Hi

I haven't done any "serious" dot net development in over six months, but I
am about to start a new job where I will be doing it every day.

I want to get myself a couple of good books to arm myself with when I enter
the new job. My level is "experienced" but certainly not "expert". I need
something which serves as a good "reference" type book, for working with,
but also explains some of the basics in a plain english way.

The emphasis would be on VB.NET and ASP.NET

Any suggestions / reccomendations ?
Cheers
Owen
