The recently released Smashing Node.js by Guillermo Rauch (author Socket.io and other modules, CTO of Learn Boost) is good, and has very good info on JavaScript as a first class programming language. (Some of the author books I've read seem to assume you're knowledgeable from working with JS in the browser via DOM or jQuery, and don't always address best practices). I'd pair with Crockford's Javascript: The Good Parts and/or Eloquent JavaScript.
