I've got Kito's JSF in Action, Bergsten's JSF, and Dudney's Master JSF on my desk. I started with JSFia a couple of months ago, and I haven't felt the need to read the other two yet. Occasionally I will look up an obscure topic in all three, but generally JSFia has it covered. The things I liked about JSFia is that it doesn't present everything from Struts perspective, which seems to be so common these days (I used Struts for my last project, but I don't consider it to be a good building point for teach JSF unless Struts is all you knew), and it doesn't require you to read the entire book cover-to-cover to get started working.
