There's only 2 'nn's in Zinn. ;^) ^^

But I second the recommendation. 3rd Edition.

The aforementioned Zinn book is great. Also - Barnett's Manual.
Download the whole damn thing from the Rideitbent website (you'll have
to Google for the proper URL - sorry.)

Sheldon Brown's website, and the Park Tools website are also nice.
