Regarding 1.0 vs 2.0 - since 2.0 is a pretty huge recommendation, and
since the flow of XSLT seems to take most programmers a while to catch
onto, you'd probably be best off getting a good grasp of XSLT 1.0
before moving on to 2.0. If you're familiar with XML, I'd strongly
recommend Evan Lenz's XSLT 1.0 Pocket Reference. The first three
chapters get you up to speed on exactly what goes on in a
transformation, and the rest of the book is simply a reference on how
each element and function works. (XSLT is an extremely small
language.)

I own Michael Kay's XSLT book - it's a great read once you're
comfortable with transformations, and want to learn how to make your
stylesheets better and smarter. Until then, it's a very heavy read,
with lots of places to get lost. I still refer to the pocket reference
all the time.
