This might seem like a strange recommendation at first, but bear with me. Atkins and Freidman, Molecular Quantum Mechanics has a fantastic section on symmetries and group theory. Since chemists deal with molecular shapes, they have really got that application of group theory down. It's a little removed from gauge symmetries, but the book really teaches representation theory and symmetry adapted bases. I wouldn't buy the book. But it's worth an afternoon in the library.

One with fewer pictures, but not as hands-off as Georgi is Hamermesh Group Theory ... . It has the advantage of being dirt cheap. It was the standard about 50 years ago, before Weinberg and Salam and the explosion of group theory applications in HEP.
