I totally agree with mmalc, this is the first book you should buy.
Despite what others have said, I highly recommend that you do NOT
start with Kernigan and Richie, it's simply not the best learning tool
for getting into Mac programming. K&R is extremely dry and although it
teaches you plain C, you don't need to know most of the stuff in that
book to write good Objective-C.
Stephen Kochan's book teaches you everything you need to know about
programming in Objective-C, including the bits of the C language you
need to know and none of the bits you don't. It is also one of the
most well-written technical books I have ever read.
Once you've read the Kochan book you should get Aaron Hillegass'
"Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X", which goes beyond the Objective-C
language to teach you the mechanics of working with the Cocoa
frameworks.
