This is an excellent book whose name unfortunately suggests it's somehow 
specific to Fedora (it isn't really). It's also available in print for 
those who prefer reading on the bus under the name of Red Hat RPM Guide
(http://www.amazon.com/Red-Hat-Guide-Eric-Foster-Johnson/dp/0764549650).

Very much recommended over the severely outdated Maximum RPM.
