user3079: Travis Batterson recently wrote a book called Bitcoin: A Basic Explanation of Everything. I know it's available on Kindle here and you can order physical copies on the website basicbitcoin.com. The book gives a good cover of all things Bitcoin and for what it's worth isn't bad.

user11418: What's the deal with Bitcoins is THE book to read to learn about bitcoins. On Amazon and at http://bitcoins.peopletested.com

user575: Peter Surda is writing a book which if I understand correctly, will explain the foundations of money and how they relate to Bitcoin.
In addition, coindl.com lists several eBooks, some of them are about Bitcoin. Examples:

"A Beginner's Guide To Bitcoin And Bitcoin Services" by Trace Mayer,
J.D.
"A Lawyer's Take On Bitcoin And Taxes" by Trace Mayer,
J.D.
"You Can Learn Bitcoin" by David R. Sterry.
"Introduction to Bitcoin Mining: A Guide for Gamers, Geeks and Everyone Else" by David R. Sterry.
"Bitcoin - What It Is and Why It Matters" by Anthony Freeman.


user20693: If you're into more of the programmatic side of Bitcoin check out "Mastering Bitcoin" coming out soon from O'Reily Media.
You can get the "raw and unedited" version for free, just search for it on Google. (it's legal and downloadable from O'Reily Media)

user2199: A new book called Bitcoin Step by Step is out on Kindle.


http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A1CUQQU

It will get users started safe and secure in the Bitcoin market place.  It takes them screen by screen 
- on how to set up a wallet securely
- Funding an account
- sending / receiving BTC
- Extracting BTC to currency
- Where they can spend BTC
- How they can earn BTC

user323: Bitcoin was barely around 2 years ago;).
Currently to my knowledge the closest thing to a Bitcoin book is my master thesis on Bitcoin. It focuses on analysing the security of Bitcoin software and the ecosystem, but a lot of people find it to be a good read even for beginners. It is in English, but wasn't published anywhere but a couple prints for my studies and online.
