I've used Frank D. Luna's "Introduction to 3D Game Programming with DirectX 9.0" and Wendy Jones' "Beginning DirectX9".

Jones' book however has some serious type-o's and a lot of the examples will not yield working code. But it covers some of the more basic game programing stuff, and has a bit on 2D which Luna's book doesn't.

Just as an aside, the samples have been updated and are available on the publisher's website and most of the typos have been fixed in later revisions. There are a ton of great tutorials out on the web though and plenty of friendly people on gamedev willing to help out.
