Average Rating: 
Rating: - Another Kimball Toolkit
In my estimation The Data Warehouse ETL Toolkit is a good source of information for the topic that covers the majority of your Data Warehouse efforts, the ETL process (or ECCD if you prefer, which you probably will after finishing this volume).

Rating: - ETL Toolkit
A great basic tool book for datawarehousing and ETL. I've purchased for my teams here and in India.
Rating:  - Good for anyone who wants to Learn ETL
This book gives practical guidelines to follow through the ETL cycle, it does not matter if you are using an Industry Standard ETL tool or writing your own ETL process from scratch, this book will be useful for both. I found it very useful. Definitely worth a read for anyone who is new to ETL.
