Reference books should be on everybody's bookshelf, but they are not very good for learning something.

For learning Java, I recommend "Thinking in Java" by Bruce Eckel. The latest edition is 4 and it should be available in any reasonable book store. You can download a free PDF of the third edition here[^]

You can get the first 7 chapters of the 4th edition as a free download here[^].

I have the 3rd and 4th editions in paper, and the 3rd edition as PDF on a Kindle somewhere. Great book.

Oracle provides an online tutorial which you can also download and use while offline. The tutorial also contains bundled examples, all which can be tested in your development machine, and which can be adapted. I consider it the most reliable material available because it is updated regularly and contains all information as per their development libraries, that is their APIs. Check the following three links that reflect the tutorial and the APIs.
1. Java APIs (Java SE 7)[^]
2. Java SE 7 Tutorials[^]
3. Java Platform Standard Edition 7 Documentation[^]

As for the books, I believe Beginning Java 7[^] by Jeff Friesen[^] will prove to be one of the best books available for Java.

I hope these materials help you.
