Recent SSRS books?

I will be starting a new project using SS2005 Reporting Services. Can
someone recommend 2 or 3 books on the subject? I am interested in a
book beyond the basics. (I believe I don't need the hand holding, or
"step by step," as that most of that can be found online.)
We will be applying report security and integrating with SharePoint in
the near future as well.
I found these so far.
1) Mastering SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services Infrastructure Design
(Joseph L. Jorden - Sybex, Published 2007)
2) Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services (Brian Larson - McGraw-
Hill, Published 2005)
The first book listed above has a section discussing role based
security and SharePoint deployment. Are these mostly a slam dunk and
I don't need this in a book?
Has much changed since 2005? There are many books from 2005/2006 and
a few published more recently.
Thanks in advance!
DanI can recomend :-
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hitchhikers-Guide-Visual-Studio-Server/dp/0321243625/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1196846573&sr=8-1
It covers most topics and starts at a level where you are expected to have
had a play with reporting services and mastered some of the basics of
creating reports.
Cheers
Dale

a developper but a DBA. So I'm more interested in the technical en security
side of RS.
But it's a good book, and it does the trick for me.

reboot reboot reboot

I have installed ss2005 and now I want to change some things (add the
AdventureWorks dbs). On one machine it worked fine but on the other System
Configuration Check keeps getting a reboot required message that says...
"A previous installation required a reboot of the machine for changes to
take effect. To proceed, restart your computer and then run SQL Server
Setup again."
So, I reboot but it keeps getting the same message. What can I do?
Tinn ManI presume that there is an installation issue.
and at every reboot, Sql server starts and detect a file problem, like a
missing or worng DLL, then the installer starts a repair process.
when the reinstallation is done, the system ask for a reboot.
but this reinstallation doesn't works really fine and at every reboot the
same event occurs.
you'll see some installer event log in the windows log if the installer
starts himself.
Try to reinstall SQL server interactively to catch some installation issues.
stop any SQL services , reboot, see if the installer starts, then do a clean
install or repair process.
