Depends what you need. If you don't need to know much about SGML, but
just how to write DocBook, then take a look at
http://www.freebsd.org/~nik/primer/
(which will be moving in to the FreeBSD 'official' documentation set soon)
It also covers much of the SGML theory that you'll need.
http://www.oasis-open.org/cover/
is the definitive web resource.
You might like to try _SGML for Dummies_. Crap title, but quite
informative, and well presented.
And there's also _DocBook: The definitive guide_. More info at the
(incomplete) website,
http://www.docbook.org/
Note that the text of this book will be FREELY DOWNLOADABLE (it isn't yet).
But if anyone finds it useful (and I think *anyone* that helps contribute
docs to the project will) I'd urge them to shell out the money for it
when it's released. The author, Norm Walsh, is a *good bloke* -- we use
his stylesheets to format the online and print versions of the Handbook.
