My standard reply to this question is Norman H. Cohen's Ada as a Second Language. I have the second edition which is for the 95 standard. I wish it would be udpated for newer Ada's but that's not happening. I find his exposition to be outstanding, and he doesn't weigh the book down with lengthy examples or a running book-lengh example, only short, to-the-point examples.
Amazon lists it new for $595.15 to $3,295.38 (U.S.) or used at $84.85. I'd say used would be your best buy. 8^)
