I'm sorry, you don't have access to a printer? I guess I presumed too much.

Or you could take 60 seconds with a search engine and find
<http://www.amazon.com/Java-Api-Reference-Colin-Fraizer/dp/1562055984>

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Java+API+docs+as+a+book

We're talking about the Javadocs, here, aren't we?

(And the JLS, of course - available as a downloadable book.)

That's not a problem with the Javadocs.

The Java tutorials are also not fragmented and very easy to use.

But if you want one source as a book for Java truth, the Java Language 
Specification is your go-to choice.
