I found the Effective Executive's Guide to Microsoft Outlook 2002 to be informative and useful. I really liked the tone, as I get irritated quickly with guides that hold your hand through each action, assuming you have no knowledge whatsoever. This guide offers interesting tips, has a nice layout, and is reasonably priced as well.
For readers tired of Dummies, Idiots and Step By Step books

This book on Outlook 2002 is a good reference for anybody who's using Outlook 2002--and especially for corporate users. The book emphasizes the email applications of Outlook, as the list of chapters below show, but it also covers the other types of work you can do:Chapter 1: Getting STarted with Outlook Chapter 2: Reading E-Mail Chapter 3: Sending E-Mail Chapter 4: Managing Your E-Mail Chapter 5: Using a Contacts List Chapter 6: Managing Your Time Chapter 7: Maintaining OutlookAppendix A: Using Notes Appendix B: Outlook and Exchange Appendix C: Automatically Process Form Data Appendix D: GlossaryMost Outlook users will find this book supplies all the information they need. The two weak points (at least for some readers) of this book are that it doesn't provide enough information about Outlook for people who are Outlook administrators or developers. I.e., it's not like one of those 1000pp Outlook references that tell you everything there is to know about Outlook. Another weak point is that if someone really likes the hand-holding and slow pace of, for example, a Dummies book or a Complete Idiots Guide or a Step by Step book (where they tell you to click OK when you finish with some dialog box), this isn't the right book. It assumes you've got some basic computer skills.
