AppleScript: The Missing Manual is actually quite good. It was written by a high school senior, which initially put me off, but the author made me regret that reluctance. This book holds up well with other in the MM series from Pogue/O'Reilly. It is clear, definitely for the beginner, and gives an excellent foundation for the fledgling AS developer. It's also available on Amazon for under $20, which makes it a bargain to boot! ;)
For the record, I also took a look at AppleScript: A Comprehensive Guide to Scripting and Automation on Mac OS X by Hanaan Rosenthal. This one was definitely geared to the more experienced developer, and wasted no time getting to some pretty sophisticated scripting. In the end, it was too much too soon for me, and I shelved it for the Missing Manual book. I haven't regretted it, and may come back to the Rosenthal book after working my way through the MM. Best of luck finding what works for you.
