Is it that hard to go to amazon.com or your local bookstore and look? I mean, you look pretty lazy judging by that request.

You should rephrase your question so that you seem like less of a mooch. How about "What's a good book on game programming with DirectX 9.0?"

to start with, avoid anything that's "for dummies" or "in 24 hours" and things like that.
Those books give a highlevel overview and not much more, they're generally a waste of money (there are exceptions but they're few and far between).

Can't help you with specific titles as I only have one and despite having had it sitting on my desk for half a year at least I've not yet gotten around to even reading the introduction.

Hmm... a team of graphic designers, a project lead, tons of programmers, and a few million dollars. But I assume you've already got that, so you're all set. Have fun!
