 Developing and Maintaining Practical Archives - Hunter, 2008-10-08
Despite being a bit outdated, it is a good book for anyone who is considering archives as a specialty. You will need to read additional sources covering internet, digital preservation and EAD.
The book is easy to read, gets to the point quickly and has good follow-up notes.
Overall, I recommed it as a good starting point.
