The first book I bought was Evan Lenz's XSLT 1.0 Pocket Reference.
It contains an amazingly concise condensation of XSLT that got
me started and made clear the inverted nature (push vs pull)
of XSL processing.  That, plus a lot of experimentation with
Oxygen/XML's debugging tools :-)

For reference I use Michael Kay's XSLT/XPath 2.0 4th edition,
which is encyclopedic AND extremely well written.
