Definitely recommend What to EXpect series. I found that every time I had a question in my head, I would look in the book and there it was!
ETA: I also found Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child very helpful.

It's not for everyone but Babywise is my bible. The method worked beautifully for my DD and my only mistake was waiting 4 months to start it. For #2 I will start the method between 8-10 weeks if all goes well.

I have What to Expect and refer to it often. It's an easy to read guide. I also liked 12 Hours by 12 Weeks. We used the methods in the book and my DS has been sleeping throughout the night since he was about 8 weeks old.

I didn't find the What to Expect 1st year all that helpful...
These were great though:
Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child
and
Your Self-Confident Baby: How to Encourage Your Child's Natural Abilities from the Very Start
