Them Head First books from Oreilly are ok.

It really didn’t say if it was for the 2005 version or not.

As xna needs at least the 2005 C# express edition, you might want to look for books that do instruct working with 2005 (not really that much difference) but there is a few new things that XNA might use (such as generics) that might not be explained in some books.
