1. I agree with the previous recommendation partially. The Mathematica book is a model of good documentation, true. Still, it may not be the best for beginners 2. my strong personal favourities (from at least 20 I looked through and 8 I read) were Patrick Tam - A physicists guide to mathematica. Don't be misled by the title. It's excellent beginner to high-intermediate tutorial. Showing use of Mathematica to solve real problems - though most examples are, admittedly from physics. Very well written and very well organized. Teaching quite well some elements of programming, too. the other is David Wagner - Power programming with Mathematica, which concentrates of the Mathematica programming language. Very useful for advanced programming. Still, I've been out of this for a couple of years now and something new could have appeared.
