My favourite book on special relativity is Spacetime Physics by Taylor and Wheeler. It's intuitive, clearly written and well laid out, with an Edward Tufte style column of text running along the main body that stops you getting lost in the equations. Some parts of the first edition are available online: http://www.eftaylor.com/special.html http://www.eftaylor.com/special.html http://www.eftaylor.com/pub/spacetime/STP1stEdThruP20.pdf http://www.eftaylor.com/pub/spacetime/STP1stEdThruP20.pdf
