I bought the Wrox published book on Tomcat a couple of months ago ... its pretty good.   I had a REALLY bad one before that ... wish I could remember the name of it ...I'd telll you NOT to buy that one.  It had yellow on the cover and was kind of thin.  It was useful fo the first 2 days and that's about it.   The Wrox book is pretty good though.

from Wiley Publishing and I'm loving it.

It's a nice broad overview of stuff, with enough detail to sink your 
teeth into it. The focus is on development so after the initial 
Install, config and management chapters it jumps into, JSP, Taglibs, 
MVC with Struts, Templates (Velocity), DB pooling w/ JNDI, database 
aware objects (roll yer own), Security. Then the last 3rd of the book 
they go into best practices by detailing a development process: 
Structuring your work environment, using cvs, ant, tesiting with junit, 
and top it all off with the worlds most complex Hello World project (An 
MVC implemention with JSP, servlets and even an Applet.).

I started from nothing and was up and programming within a day. Oh, 
McFarland uses OS X so there's plenty of specific detail for it (though 
they don't ignore Win or *nix)
