"Happiest Baby" is good, but honestly, if you just read a summary of it online, you'll learn just as much (I also hear that some recommend the DVD over the book for that reason). I highly recommend "Baby 411" -- it's pretty exhaustive, authoritative, and has a sense of humor. Another good one is "Heading Home with Your Newborn." I'm not a huge fan of the "What to Expect" books -- to me, they're a little alarmist/condescending.

I also recommend "Nursing Mother's Companion" if you plan to BF. and "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child" when LO is a bit older and you want to read up on sleep.

We like Dr. Sears The Baby Book. We use it as a reference quite often.

I never liked the what to expect books either!
