Why books? You can download free options (VMware Server, VMware Player, ESXi). The pay products (like Workstation) have trials.

You could be up & running 30 minutes from now, which IMO is more exciting (and valuable) than ordering a book and reading about it once it shows up.

Being a VCP in VI3 and vSphere, I can definitely say that virtualization is an exciting field to be in! I agree that trying the software out and learning as you go is a great first step. Secondly, there are a number of great books out there...

Check out: http://www.amazon.com/Mastering-VMwa...1849341&sr=8-1

I think that is probably a great start for basic understanding of VMware's vSphere product. Alternatively, going through VMware's own product documentation is a great way to learn their products.
