Following on from Starting Strength, Rippetoe's second book will nicely develop your weightlifting knowledge. While some initial space is devoted to revision of the major lifts (their proper form, pre-eminent importance etc.), the material quickly progresses onto the quirks of programming.
Anyone who's spent any time in gym knows that seemingly everyone is on a different program; often with no real idea as to why they're following their particular choice. The result is aimless training: the program is modified - and even changed altogether - every other week.
This book effectively slices through this inefficient indecision. Several chapters are devoted to the theory, methodology and finally execution of training programs for athletes of all levels.
A must for anyone ready (read: has trained regularly for 3-9 months already) to advance from the basics presented in Starting Strength.
