Great Price "Learning Cocoa with Objective-C, 2nd Edition" for $34.95 Today
As with most O'reilly books this one is not a let down. I was most impressed to find out that is actually written by Apple Computer and then was handed to James Duncan Davidson to make it flow.
It has a great explanation of Object Oriented programming as it pertains to Objective-C. Although if you are looking to get into OOP for the first time I would suggest a higher-level language such as Java (the syntax can get in the way of learning the concepts and ideas with Obj-C / C++).
The book is titled to cover upto MacOS 10.2. I am using Leopard (10.5) and the only differences (so far) are: the GUI screenshots in the book are, well, out of date; and the default naming conventions for Xcode files are different. Neither of these is a big issue though.
Its a Good book.

A book for Cocoa programmers - Alberto Paderno - Brescia, BS Italy
The book is an useful guide for who needs to learn Cocoa programming, and needs to learn also Objective-C.
Low on details - S. Kennedy - Frostburg, MD
If only Apple put as much effort in its books as it does in its iPods...
This text skips over all sorts of details regarding the Cocoa framework it purports to teach, while repeating many mundane details (like how to create a project) over and over. The authors focus mostly on Interface Builder. If that is what you need, though, I'd still recommend the Internet instead.
