Due to inconsistencies and other weirdness in the language, it is as important learning how to protect yourself from the language itself as it is to learn the grammar. I've also found some great info in AppleScript 1-2-3 via Safari Books Online, but never read it all the way through - although Bill is a master, so I'm sure it's very good.

I voted for Hanaan Rosenthal's book earlier in the thread, but Matt
Neuburg's is excellent as well. As for Sal Soghoian's (hope I spelled
that right) — well, I would have loved to have it ten years ago, but
browsing through it in the store I didn't see much in it for a
relatively experienced scripter.
