I'm quite impressed with this one
http://www.amazon.com/Java-Generics-Collections-Maurice-Naftalin/dp/0596527756,
which, as the title implies, discusses both collections and generics.

see http://mindprod.com/jgloss/collection.html
and

The collections don't need a book. The Javadoc is fine plus perhaps
an overview. You need something to explain how generics and
collections interact.

You encapsulate not just to save typing, but more importantly, to make it easy and safe to change the code later, since you then need change the logic in only one place. Without it, you might fail to change the logic in all the places it occurs.
