As a side note, I hate online books, I like having a physical book
sitting next to me as I program. Just easier for me, and how I
learned in the past. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

or NetBeans from
http://www.netbeans.org/
which also has this feature.
You can also access the Javadocs online at
<http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/>
These are not a substitute for a book (or set of books) but an adjunct to workaday programming, whereby you can have references at your fingertips.
Furthermore, Roedy's own website,
<http://www.mindprod.com/>
is chock-full of excellent advice, definitions, project ideas, warnings against common problems and more.
You will gain subtlety and more robust code by studying any book written or co-authored by Joshua Bloch, especially
/Effective Java/.
