Can somebody recommend a good SQL book?

I'm looking to brush up majorly on my SQL knowledge. I work mostly with MySQL and MS SQL, but I really just need to learn SQL in general. Can anybody recommend a good book?

I can recommend a good MySQL book - High Performance MySQL 2nd Ed., but it's not really a SQL book (more an advanced DBA book). For SQL I refer to the MySQL documentation often, it's pretty good - http://dev.mysql.com/doc/

I haven't read a single SQL book either :)
The manuals, some articles and a lot of practice - that's how I've learned SQL :)
There are 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who don't
