http://www.amazon.com/Lucene-Action-Erik-Hatcher/dp/1932394281/ref=pd_bbs_sr _1/103-4871137-7111056?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1187037246&sr=8-1 Lucene in Action by Eric Hatcher and Otis Gospodnetic. It does not cover Solr really, but you will understand what Lucene does and how it works. Until then you will not really get anywhere.
