Author Q: What is a good java reference book?

I would like advice on what to buy for a good reference book. I don't
need hand-holding, I just need a good, thorough, reference book. I am
a casual c/c++ programmer that had an introduction to java some years
ago and would like to pick it up again. Thanks.

I use this one: http://horstmann.com/corejava.html

The site has some sample chapters for you to look at.

"Learning Java" is an O'Reilly book. Personally I like the Head First
Java book and TIJ by Eckel.
