Check out the books section here on GameDev for reviews and such. Also check out the reviews on Amazon.

I haven't read any beginning DX9 books so I can't give you a hands-on opinion on them but perhaps others in the forum can.

My book! :)

"Games Programming in C++: Start to Finish" due out in Q4 of this year.

Considering your title is Start to Finish, you'll probably be typing for *years*. [wink]

Personally, I'm an advocate of the hundreds (if not thousands) of free, high quality tutorial sites out there. In my opinion, they present the reader with a clear and consise introduction to DirectX. Check out this section of the FAQ.
