The JSF 2.0 complete reference book is a must-have guide for every JSF developer, designer and architect. It is really a great book that is written by the JSF Specification Lead "Mr. Edward Burns".

I recommend this book for all the JSF community.

This is currently my #1 reference for JSF 2. While it serves as a great reference book, it reads, to me, just as well as an introduction to JSF as well. Highly recommended.
