I have no doubt Tomcat: The Definitive Guide is very good although I
would suspect it's targeted to the tomcat servlet container specifically
rather than java servlets and jsp.
At the point you are at, a book that targets java servlets and jsp is
better than a book that target's tomcat. And when looking at books on
the subject, look specifically for the servet version they cover.
Tomcat 5 and 5.5 are servlet spec 2.4 while Tomcat 6 is servlet spec
2.5. Given Servlet spec 2.4 and 2.5 are from the same JSR-154, you
should see only minor differences in the API between the two.
Lastly, I think you should eventually read the servlet specification
itself downloadable from http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/details?id=154. As a
spec, it's not a bad read and can clear a lot of confusion. I have it
printed here in my office and constantly refer to it.
I don't personally have a favorite book as I've been using tomcat since
version 3.3 and any recommendation I could give is horribly outdated.

What book(s) would you recommend? A fast-paced book that is not just a
gentle introduction, but covers a lot of details besides the general
principles would probably be best suited for me.
I see there is an O'Reilly book (Tomcat. The Definitive Guide. By
Jason Brittain and Ian F. Darwin); most of theirs fit the above
description and are quite good, but there are exceptions. How about
this one?
