Tastes in books varies wildly between developers: there are many on there that I wouldn't say helped me as much as others, but to each their own!

With that in mind, I'd put a plug in for David Herman's _Effective JavaScript_. It goes beyond simply stating the mechanics of JavaScript into what pitfalls can be had, and uncommon but critical factors to consider when writing your code. The point about UTF-16 code points in strings alone makes it a valuable resource.
