I like this book. It's a bit old school but it seems solid.
When I go shooting clays I the trappers, very helpfully, try to give advice. This I encourage and I'm very grateful for it. Sometimes, I stop them - politely - and say: I can only learn, say, three things today. If you tell me too much, I'll forget everything but three major things. That's all I can handle at one time. I might, for example, focus on the transitional shots one day. Or, I might look at leading for quick crossers. And so on. And there's little to replace shooting with such pointed guidance when you're shooting - but books like this do come close and I am grateful for it.

Good basis guide to shooting clays

Excellent primer and reference for shotgun sports.
Starts with the basics, and works up to how to approach different targets for the major disciplines (skeet/trap/sporting).
Great for all levels of skill - no knowledge assumed, but gets deep.
Chris Batha also has some great instructional videos for free online.
