These downloadable books are the reference for the infrastructure design of your SharePoint environment, and have not been getting anywhere near enough pimping.
I guess the sheer weight of this material doesn't provide rapid enough assimilation in this world of instant knowledge, but that's exactly why they are essential for administrators and architects. Key topology designs, configuration specifics along with comprehensive check lists mean this is the PAG for SharePoint 2007. Also included is essential information architecture approaches which should be required reading for those implementing in large organizations.
So go get them, print them and read them (downloadable CHMs would have been nicer):
