I can recommend "Regular Expressions in 10 Minutes" by Ben Forta (©2004 by Sams
Publishing; ISBN 0-672-32566-7). I also have "Mastering Regular Expressions" by
Jeffrey E. F. Friedl (see http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/regex3/ for details)
and, of course, the BBEdit manual, but it's the slim Forta book that travels
with my laptop's bag because it's comprehensive yet svelte (102 pages if you
subtract the appendices and index; 146 pages in all).
Largely tutorial in nature, the Forta book also serves as a reference book for
me. Because it's handy, it's the first book I reach for if I need to noodle out
a regular expression problem. The $15 book also has some "canned" regular
expressions that can be used to work with such things as ZIP codes (US, UK,
Canada), US Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, IP addresses, URLs,
email addresses, and HTML- and Java-style comments. It even has a link to a
regular expression tester ...

... so you can hone your regex expertise.
