There is Petzold's "Programming Windows Phone 7", which is available for free.

Windows Phone 7 apps are Silverlight applications (or mobile XNA apps). If you are comfortable with Silverlight, the Petzold book is a good starting point. If you haven't done any Silverlight (or WPF/XAML), then I'd recommend you pick up a good starter book on general Silverlight - most of the techniques learned there will apply to Windows Phone 7 as well.

Not a book but the best place to start is the Windows Phone App Hub
There are many tutorials, code samples, official design guidelines, forums etc.

Also check out the Windows Phone 7 developer's guide at codeplex.
