I highly recommend this book. It provides description and examples of existing -and undocumented- SAP R/3 functions, very hard to find otherwise. It is an unique resource when it comes to SAP custom development.

Very concise - pulls the subject together in an accessible and user-friendly way. Every module is comprehensively examined in a practical example - this book will be of immense use to me as there is really nothing like it out there!
