Learning GNU Emacs, 3rd Edition http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596006488.do

I've been using Emacs for ~5 years now, and I switched from Sublime Text. I used Vim here and there but I wasn't a huge fan, and I always heard that Emacs is _the editor_ that can solve anything. Org mode is what got me really interested so I read through that book and switched to Emacs fully after a couple of weeks of light usage and reading.

Now I only use Emacs, and I've never been happier programming. It's truly a remarkable piece of software.

Edit: just want to say that you should use vanilla emacs and try not to install any plugins at first. Resist the temptation to go willy-nilly on some awesome-xyz list.
