Focal Press
I learned Avid using two books: Avid Editing by Sam Kaufman and The Avid Assistant Editor's Handbook by Kyra Coffie.
The first one comes with a DVD with some scenes I believe, and it's really helpful to use the footage they give you to cut. I had an internship where afterwards I literally just sat down with this book for a couple hours each day, taking notes and practicing on the Avid in front of me. The second one is more up to date but obviously geared towards assistant editors more, and is a little more technical.
I'd add Avid Editing: A Guide for Beginning and Intermediate Users. It helped me in the very beginning.
