Ian,
My list of references online:
w3schools.com -> DOM, JS reference
ECMAScript standard
Mozilla's Javascript pages
If you're considering Javascript coding, just start writing code based on DOM and javascript basics .. and increase your vocabulary of objects and methods available as you go along.
In terms of buying a book, I haven't bought one yet. I kinda liken JS as a bad boy of programming languages and like it like that. JResig's book by manning is due anytime soon that talks about how to write your own JS based language or what have you - its fairly advanced in my opinion, and would be good to get a sense of applied JS in the field.
