Ryan,
Just to reiterate, I also have the DuBois book, and it's served me very well. It can be a little tricky to find the syntax of a command, but once you get used to the layout of the book it's a very handy reference. Great for a MySQL beginner.

Don't get a mysql book if you want a good SQL reference. MySQL has made no claims to its SQL compliance, and they have done lots to "bend" SQL 92 to their will. I've got MySQL by DuBois. It's a great reference book for MySQL syntax, and since nobody's jumping onto 4.0 stuff it's still reasonably up to date. If you're just getting into database programming, I'd suggest PostgreSQL over MySQL: It's the closest to SQL 92 compliance, and very full featured.
