Even 1$ is too much for "Oracle8 Data Warehousing" ! We're not yet on 9i so I've not checked about that kind of book. For DW only, check Ralph Kimball's book and the IBM red book site( http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/). There is an excellent document (PDF) about datawarehousing in general. The data warehouse institute (http://www.dw-institute.com) offers papers and training.
On 8i, I can recommend Tim Gorman's book. DW are never reorganised but updated on the frequency needed by the business needs.
