What I found at Border's was a real beginner's book.  Or, will I end up with a couple of books?  I have the "Unix in a Nutshell" by O'Reilly but would like to zero in on BSD.

Absolute BSD by Michael Lucas is a good read and gets into some good detail.

Also check out The Complete FreeBSD by Greg Lehey (4th Ed.) is also very 
good.
