The book More Servlets by Marty Hall is great for beginners. Check out the book review section of Java Ranch to get an idea about other books on Servlets, JSP and J2EE in general.
I have to recommend Professional Java Servlets 2.3 from Wrox Press (take a look at the authors and you will know why!) Joking aside, this is a really good book. It covers servlets from a different angle (i.e. not just as front ends for web based applications) and provides some useful insights in the the design, development, and deployment of such servlets.
