The complete freebsd is definitely a good book which you should
pick up if you get serious about using freebsd. However that Unix
unleashed book is also quite good, and provides a lot of interesting
history of the system, telling you WHY things are, not just how they work.
The knowledge you gain by trying to reproduce the examples in the book on
your freebsd system will give you a much richer learning experience in the
process.
Good luck,
Doug
