Books on HW Heating

Thanks to the Dan's books and the steam pros on the wall, I now have a elementary understanding of residential steam heating. I'd now like to learn about HW heating and would appreciate some guidance as to what books I should read and a suggestion as to the order I should read them in.

Thanks!

    John Siegenthaler's book "Modern Hydronic Heating" is also very good.

    I would

    start with "how come?" by Dan Holohan.

    Great introductory book, and the writing style makes me smile everytime I pick it up.

    Thanks for all the suggestions. Now I just have to figure out a good answer when my wife asks why I'm buying books on hydronic heating when we don't have a HW system.

    It's not so much a case of "You got what you paid for", as it is a matter of "You DIDN'T get what you DIDN'T pay for, and you're NOT going to get what you thought you were in the way of comfort". Borrowed from Heatboy.
