Git book recommendation

I have never used any version control software before (yes, I know... ;-) and would like to change my evil ways using git. What book would you recommend for the total svn newbie?

I will be using a MBP for django and iOS development and a VMWare XP guest for legacy win32 stuff.

I'm looking not only for information on the usage of git, but also best practices and tips on how to better organize code and projects.

Thanks!

http://git-scm.com/documentation, lots of documentation (Books, Screencasts, etc.) including an open-sourced book by Scott Chacon: Pro Git
Also nice: Git Magic

I like the pragmatic programmers book on the topic.

I have that one too - it's great for getting started, although I found I outgrew it very quickly.

agreed, it's a very good introduction

Look for other topics on SO about this book, it was not such good I think.
