A comprehensive introduction to Analysis Services
Originally an orange spine on a Microsoft book meant 'serious' - Inside SQL Server for example got right under the skin of the RDBMS.

It now looks like Microsoft Press have realised that orange is simply a colour that will stand out amongst the myriad of other books on the shelf. And I'm pleased it does.

Jacobson's book might start at the very beginning (it is, after all, subtitled Step by Step) but keeps up a manageable but swift pace, heading off into Office and Web Integration, MDX et al.

There's no doubt it could go further, but that's probably for another book. This gets you along way down the line, in only a matter of days. Not only that, but it has some good tips on things to avoid and some of the (few) limitations of the product.

I'm now about to deliver a project in half time I expected. Now all I want is the hardcore 'Inside.' guide... :-)
