I found following books written by Itzik Ben-Gan very helpful:

Beginning:

Microsoft SQL Server 2012 T-SQL Fundamentals http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Server-2012-T-SQL-Fundamentals/dp/0735658145

Advanced:

Training Kit (Exam 70-461): Querying Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (MSPress, December 2012) http://www.amazon.com/Training-Kit-Exam-70-461-Microsoft/dp/0735666059
Inside Microsoft SQL Server 2008: T-SQL Programming (MSPress, 2009) http://www.amazon.com/Inside-Microsoft%C2%AE-Server%C2%AE-2008-Pro-Developer/dp/0735626022/ref=pd_sim_b_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=1ZFP1YGEB2QPZBZCBFZS

I'd say: learn the internals

http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-SQL-Server-2012-Internals/dp/0735658560

From there you have a solid knowledge of querytuning, how the optmizer works and solid knowledge of how SQl Server works. Something every dba should know.

And the books of Iztik Ben Gan: http://www.amazon.com/Inside-Microsoft%C2%AE-SQL-Server%C2%AE-2008/dp/0735626030/ref=sr_1_sc_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1393572731&sr=1-2-spell&keywords=iztik+ben+gan
