New ...And a good one...
For Swing development, run, don't walk, to [link|http://www.bookpool.com/|Bookpool.com] and get thee "Java Swing" by Eckstein, Loy, and Wood. It's an O'Reilly book, but it's not a "manimal" -- it's got an old 10¢ jukebox on the cover.

Very good for learning/referencing Swing programming. Well laid-out. Excellent examples. And screenshots all over the place, with the example code on how to create said screenshot right nearby.

One of the best coding books I own.

New I thought it ok...
...but not fantastic. If you are seriously into Swing, then I think the Swing book is a necessity, but I found it tedious at times (though the same can be said about Swing in general).

The thing that's hard about swing is that it amounts to amassing knowledge over a vast library. Swing is a pretty huge set of API's and getting acquanted with the library is a lot of work.
