Have a llok at the following forum, I have a list of books, and comments on them. These books include both of Tom Millers "Managed DirectX Kickstart, and Beginning 3d game programming" as well as others. http://www.ircomm.net/forums/21/ShowForum.aspx
The ZMan also has a list on his site www.thezbuffer.com.

Remember that you must have the full code from the original CD that comes with the book before you install the updated code from www.thezbuffer.com

The book "Managed DirectX 9 Kick Start : Graphics and Game Programming" by Tom Miller is good. I recommend the same as well.
