I recommend that you don't go for books. SEOMoz.com and SEOBook.com are the two best seo resources out there. They both have free servies and pay services and you cannot go wrong should you chose to invest in either even for a short time.

Also checkout seo.alltop.com for staying up to date on the latest happenings in the SEO world. Finally if you have specific questions feel free to send me a PM I have been an active full time SEO since 1999.

The SEO landscape does change quickly, but books are a good way to understand the theory in a nice "from the beginning" way (blogs are sort of hard for this). Rand Fishkin heads up SEOmoz.org and co-wrote the "Art of SEO" book so you won't go wrong using both resources. Even after a few years of learning SEO, I still found some value in reading the book. SEO's one of those things that it sounds simple and makes sense when you first read it, but it takes a bit of repetition and application before the nuances start to stick.
