The book I have is called JavaScript A beginner's Guide by John Pollock. I like it pretty much, mostly because it has these extremely easy quizes and tests that are fun to take.

You didn't mention if you have experience in programming outside of Javascript. The one thing I didn't like in my book is that it assumed total zero knowledge of any kind of programming, so a lot of it went into excruciating detail about very elementary stuff I already knew.

I also have this book, which doesn't belabor elementary concepts as much, though it also assumes you have no programming experience at all. This may actually be the better book, but it doesn't have the fun tests.
