"The Scrum Field Guide" is a nice way to get started with Scrum. It covers the practices through useful stories and advice. Heavier on the advice side. The stories seem realistic and highlight important points.
I liked the tables and tips provided. For example how to estimate the first time and how to map pre-Scrum roles. And I loved that there was a whole chapter on "done." I also liked the concept of corporate mandates being a tax on your time.

My company started with Scrum in 2009 and are way past our first year. Nevertheless I found this book quite informative on how to meet challenges. And be sure - we still have them after all this time, they just keep changing their outfit.

Not all of it was directly relevant to me but plenty was. Presented in an engaging manner with a story to start each chapter by illustrating the scenario he was about to discuss. Lots of useful takeaway points that I will be referencing as we introduce scrum at work. Clearly written in an easily digestible manner and usually well justified arguments.
Some decent advice in here for tricky cases. I did find the dialogues annoying and condescending, but it's not like a tech author is supposed to be Hemingway, I guess.
