There is no question in my mind right now that the SQL Server 2012 book I am most looking forward to having on my bookshelf is the Professional SQL Server 2012 Internals and Troubleshooting by Christian Bolton (blog | @christianbolton) et al. I enjoyed Christians first book (Professional SQL Server 2008 Internals and Troubleshooting) as well, and I can only imagine how good the updated version will be so I wanted to take a moment and recommend it to everyone.
In fact, I’ve created a new bookshelf in my library, dedicated just to SQL 2012 books for now that are available on pre-order. As they become available I will move them onto my other shelves (technical, professional development, database design). But with SQL 2012 having been released into the wild this week I didn’t want to wait any longer to put together a list of books for people to browse.
You can check out the other books I have selected for my SQL 2012 library. And if you think there is a book I need to include in my list just leave me a comment or drop me an email.
