I agree with Lars about Real World Color Management.   It was widely
recommended so I got it.  I read it from cover to cover, but perhaps 20
percent was useful for me since I work under Linux.   But that 20
percent was essential.  In particular, it addresses most of the
questions a beginner might have, but you sometimes have to work to find
relevant material.  I still find the glossary helpful in deciphering
acronyms, and the appendix on the structure of a profile was helpful.

Let us know what you find.  I'm about ready to order another book on the
subject.
