from SAMS and it is an incridible book, i would suggest it.
concerning GUI and related tasks, i would suggest "JAVA how to
program" 5th edition 'Deitel' from 'Prentice Hall'.
i hope i helped,

Just one question - you stated "5th Edition" is there something
specific about that one that's specifically appropriate? Because
they're up to 7th now.

Peace,

My personal favorite has been HeadFirst Java:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0596009208?ie=UTF8&tag=myprfothusst1-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=0596009208

And, in case you want something a 'bit' more detailed, from the same
authors as Head First Java is the 'SCJP Sun Certified Programmer for
Java 5 Study Guide':
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0072253606?ie=UTF8&tag=myprfothusst1-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=0072253606

I recommend the second book after you've read the first one if you
are
new to Java. The authors do a good job of explaining core concepts
in
a simple to understand manner. I've also gone through Deital &
Deital's Java, Murach's Java, and Beginning Java Objects, but found
the books(above two) written by Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates the best.

Hope this helps,
God Bless,
