Any O'Rielly and Associates book on UNIX is applicable to FreeBSD, and 
they make about 50 of them.  The topics are general (Essential System 
Administration) to specific (DNS/BIND).  They can be found in 
Waldenbooks, Barnes & Noble, and any other major bookseller.  They can order 
any you would like, and usually have a few on the shelves.
