I concur: "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X" (3rd edition) and "Programming in Objective-C 2.0" (2nd edition) are the two books I go to the most and recommend for people getting started.
Once you've have some experience, then the Apple online documentation is pretty good. In particular, when you look at an Objective-C class description, in the column on the left there is often a document (or several) that describes the broader concepts, how this class relates to others, and provides snippets of code showing how to use the class. I often skim these first and then come back to the class description. Just make sure you are looking at the documentation for the right platform (iOS vs Mac). I also have numerous other books, including "Cocoa Recipes for Mac OS X" (2nd edition). You can never have too many programming books. One word of warning: the screen shots and detailed description for using Xcode and IB will almost always be at least slightly wrong because Apple is continuously updating their tools.
