Yes, in short:
Programming in Objective-C 2.0, Kochan
This covers Objective-C with a little Xcode and Mac OS. A good base reference for all things Objective-C. It will underpin everything, teach you and be a reference if you're used to C/C++/other.
Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X, Hillegass
This is the defacto beginner's guide to OSX desktop programming. It covers enough to get you started and then the book above will teach you more about the language to then use the SDK reference materials.
It's worth getting both the books above. Although Obj-C is close to C/C++ is is fundamentally different in a few areas but it is a nice language to program in and the OSX SDK makes things easy.
You can sign up for the free dev account at developer.apple.com and then download an up-to-date vesion of Xcode with all the wizzy bits (the Xcode that came with my SL install disk is very out of date).
