I bought XML/IE5 from Wrox Press... it's not extremely advanced, but does give you a good start to using XML. I just received Advanced ASP 3.0 from Wrox this past weekend - I haven't started reading it myself, but my colleague has it and says it is very good reading. Also, you may want to go to www.vbxml.com and read some of the whitepapers there.
