Right, so here we discuss print media resources that deal with classical music.
As still a relative newbie, this excellent (and brand new, published earlier this year) book has been a godsend:

More advanced listeners probably won't get much out of it, though. I have a feeing it will seem downright silly to them.
I also have this, but haven't started reading it yet:

(A quite promising review here (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/28/books/review/Dyer-t.html))
I also leaf through each new issue of Gramophone (http://www.gramophone.co.uk/), paying attention mainly to the reviews of new releases.
