Recommendation for MySQL Intro reference

Just getting started with MySQL and I was hoping that someone could
provide me with some advice regarding a decent introductory reference
book. Obviously, the default choice would be MySQL in a Nutshell.
However, I would like to know if you have had poor experiences with
this book or if there's a better reference out there.

Thanks.

Pro MySQL from Apress is great! I am finishing it up now. Check it out at
