I assume you want to do 2D stuff. I haven't really seen a "bad" XNA book yet. The 4.0 ones tend to be really basic or really advanced though. The 3.0 books are better for the intermediate level, but they aren't fully compatiable with XNA 4.0.

Riemer's tutorials (and really his 3.0 books) are a must.

I've heard there's some good 2D stuff on YouTube.

If you're wanting to do 3D, I'll recommend my own site: XNA3D101.com
It's pretty new and still under construction, but there's enough there already to get a beginner started.

Bookmarked that for future reference. Always nice to take another perspective on things.
