Simply SQL
by Rudy Limeback

book's website
http://www.sitepoint.com/books/sql1/toc.php?SID=f1646cdd6cc97718035b378712d49648

4 chapters in pdf for preview
http://sitepoint.com/books/sql1/sql1-sample.pdf

the book is kind of kind of expensive, $35
bought it last week at Barnes & Noble, not online

it is NOT an Access book

this a generic sql book, for any database, so it does not have info on triggers or stored procedures, those are more database specific

the book has a nice dark font on clean white pages, good spacing between lines, letters and words

so it visually easy to read as well as technically easy to read

has good info on basic sql as well as more advanced stuff: data types, relational integrity, primary and foreign keys, constraints, many to many relationships, group by and having, and correalted subqueries

this is the author's website
