I learned IPv6 from "IPv6 Essentials" by O'Reilly.  I don't recall if it 
was the 1st edition that came out in 2002 or the 2nd edition from 2006.  
The edition I read had a number of outdated concepts, such as site local 
addresses.  Since site local was deprecated in 2004 with RFC 3879, it 
must have been the first edition that I read.  In either case, it was an 
excellent book.
