As a self study references, I have received the best feedback from 
students and others when they have used,

"Ada as a Second Language" by Cohen (Addison-Wesley)

or

"Introduction to Ada" by J.P. Barnes (forgot the publisher)

Both are excellent references for individuals with good software
development skills.

The lastest version of Barnes has some Ada95 stuff.
