I like to keep in mind lists of books that aren't good Java books, as well as those that are good, just to be able to recommend them (or not) when questions are asked on this list. Care to let us know which books you find wanting? FYI, I own and recommend Learning Java, published by O'Reilly, third edition. I don't recall exactly where I learned that constructors have no return type keyword, but I'm sure it's in there. I also recommend the Java tutorial on Oracle's website. It's not in-depth, but it often is useful to answer specific questions. "Constructor declarations look like method declarations—except that they use the name of the class and have no return type"
