Hey Dan,

I like the Korf, Yandell, and Bedell BLAST
book<http://www.amazon.com/Blast-Ian-Korf/dp/0596002998>from O'Reilly.

For your tomato/potato, I would look at some of the specialized genomic
aligners, for example LAGAN<http://lagan.stanford.edu/lagan_web/index.shtml>
 or AVID <http://baboon.math.berkeley.edu/mavid/>.
