I have AppleScript for Dummies but do NOT recommend it: outdated, poorly
organized, full of pointless and insulting asides.

I'm not sure there's anything available, other than Apple's Help modules, that's not outdated. Keeping that in mind, the best AppleScript book is probably still Danny Goodman's AppleScript Handbook, followed by the AppleScript for the Internet Visual Quick Start Guide (which is useful not only for Internet-related scripting). Maybe O'Reilly will do something on AppleScript as a follow-up to the upcoming Carbon and Cocoa books.
