I've been using "Programming In Ada, Third Edition" by J.G.P. Barnes and
have loved it.  The book is written as a text book, but I find it is
usefull as a reference book as well.  I used it in a directed study
class when I was in school, and I keep it on my bookshelf at work.  The
only thing I find this book doesn't address is implementation specific,
but those parts are detailed in my development environment
documentation.

I imagine a 4th or even 5th edition has been released since I got the
3rd edition.  My copy does not cover anything about Ada95 (it was
released in 1989), so you probably would want to get the latest release.
