Can anyone recommend any good books for learning how to build an Access database?

I'm reasonably proficient with most MS software but, like anything, you don't know till you've learn't it. I want to end up doing some reasonably complex things and am happy to put in the time.

I've looked at a few of the books and they have less than rave reviews - does anyone know a good publisher to go for or a book that they can recommend I'd love to know
 
I have designed databases using other software but some of the more advanced functions of MS Access are a little tricky to nail down even with the might of google on hand. Access, like so much of M$, is rather ideosyncratic on occasion and some of the more interesting functions peversely occult.

It has been decided that for a cheap, scalable centralised database which, once the lion's share has been designed, is fairly easy to configure and expand MS Access is the software to go for.

I have looked at a few pages available on google but have found that it will take me a long time to hunt down bits of information and am more than willing to pay for that information to be collated, distilled and organised into paper form. The internet is fine for certain things but from a few quick glances it seems to be a false economy for what I'm intending.
 
Just read some reviews of Access Bible on Amazon - hilarious.

They all slate the book apart from one that is blatently from the publisher, rather sad really.
