Congratulations on your new baby girl! Instead of books - because what new mom has time to read?! - I got subscriptions to parenting magazines - Parents and Parenting are both super-cheap, and Babytalk and American Baby are free. You can read any of these magazines cover to cover in about a half an hour, and they're full of interesting and helpful information for all ages.
Then to save space when you're done, you can either recycle them or cut out the baby pictures and put them in plastic photo album sleeves for your baby to use as a picture book. I did that for my son and he loves it.
You can also sign up at ivillage.com for a weekly newsletter-email that's specific for your daughter's age. It has a lot of interesting links and articles.
If you do prefer books, though, I found that What to Expect in the First Year was only semi-helpful. I couldn't find answers to a lot of my questions. That's the only book I bought. I got most of my reliable and relevant info from my family and friends.
Good luck!
