I am a pretty good programmer(IMO only, of course. Know Python, Java well. Tried my hands at Lisp, Ruby, Haskell). I also know how to use Jquery reasonable well, so I know Dom manipulation.
I want a recommendation on a Javascript book, which teaches the Language. My criteria are, 1. Fast paced and for programmers who know programming. Dont tell me what loops are. 2. Teaches the language not the Dom manipulation. 3. Preferable ebook. Non free is fine.

1. You Don't Know JS by Kyle Simpson: “You don't know JS” is not a single book; it is a series of 6 books that are well written and well organized for learning JavaScript. This series of books helps you increase your JavaScript knowledge and cover a deep understanding of concepts.
Since JavaScript is used to create dynamic websites, it's also helpful to have a basic familiarity with the other web page building blocks, HTML and CSS. You don't need to know any other programming languages to learn JavaScript.
JavaScript: The Good Parts.

Like others I'd firstly recommend JavaScript the good parts. Another option to consider is JavaScript the definitive guide by David Flanagan. This is also a good book that covers the language well- certainly enough depth for a programmer interested in particular features of javascript. The language part is seperate from the client side stuff- so you can just read the bits that interest you.
Update- I've just checked the book on Amazon it has a whopping 286 customer reviews!
