Not a book, but the article Multithreading – The Delphi Way, by Martin Harvey, is a great start.

Yes, it's not a book. But it has chapters, so it's much more than just an article. – Rob Kennedy Oct 27 '09 at 21:44

The book Delphi™ 6 Developer’s Guide from Steve Teixeira and Xavier Pacheco has a full chapter called "Multithreaded Techniques". This is an excellent book .
Also you can check this serie of articles from the delphi corner site
- Waiting for Threads
- Running Queries in Threads
- Creating threads straight from the WinAPI
- How to interrupt a thread's execution
- Thread Synchronization through Critical Sections

This is also NOT a book. But I too found threading in Delphi very difficult when I started trying to learn it.
Rather than try to learn all its complexities, one alternative I might suggest is to try the OmniThreadLibrary at http://otl.17slon.com/ To me it simplifies everything. And it has a FAQ, tutorial and forum.
