Apache Cookbook
You wouldn't want this as your ONLY Apache book. Too much left out, too much knowledge assumed. That's not a condemnation though: you would want this as a companion to Apache - The Definitive Guide. What this gives you is (mostly short) recipes or hints toward accomplishing specific tasks. I found it particularly interesting that they included discussion of situations for which there is no satisfactory answer - at least that stops you from searching fruitlessly.
I haven't finished reading this yet because I keep getting side-tracked by the recipes and running off to experiment. That's probably a pretty good endorsement right there. However, don't expect miracles. Apache can be a joy, but it can also be frustratingly stubborn. For example, I'm trying to get mod_speling (yep, it really is spelled that way) working on this site. So far, I've found nothing that gives me any success toward that goal (though this book did give me more insight that might turn out to be useful once I finally do find the real problem).
Duh - what I had forgotten was to add a "CheckSpelling On" directive in my config.. loading the mod_speling module doesn't do anything by itself!

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
