They have 2 books (dead tree form or you can view as html online or download as pdf). The Samba-3-HowTo is a tremendous resouce. It is a reference. The Samba-3 by Example is what you want to look at. Instead of being a reference manual per se, it allows you to choose a type of network scenario that most matches yours and get the configuration file(s) and the reasons for them.
