Ok but the only book i saw was 'old'.
OpenBSD-specific books

Building Linux and OpenBSD Firewalls
    by Wes Sonnenreich, Tom Yates. 
    This book describes the OpenBSD 2.5 installation process and the elementary 
management of the system firewalling tools. 
    [Order from Amazon] 


The newest german book i saw was: 

BSD mit Methode
published by C&L Computer- und Literaturverlag GmbH, 1998


I know... somethings never change but i don't trust 'old' books.
Because some facts could be different. If I read a book for SuSe 6.2 and firewalling i 
can smash all the knowledge because the firewall-system is 'newer' as the descripted 
system in the book.
If there was any 'new' book (2002 or younger) pls told me, because i din't saw it at the 
list.
