Default Pro Tools Book

Is there any sort of written literature about Pro Tools you would recommend I should pick up? Something like Pro Tools for Dummies, that sort of thing.

Thanks,
Rob...

That was a trip- to be redirected to a post I made last July.

Ah, last July.
I wish I were there now... at Casa Rubio, getting sunburned and eating lobster on the beach...
