These are the books I recommend:
- v2: Mike Henderson’s “HL7 Messaging“
- v3: Andrew Hinchley’s “Understanding Version 3“
- CDA: Keith Boone’s “The CDA Book“
- General HL7: Tim Benson’s “Principles of Health Interoperability HL7 and SNOMED“
These are the books I recommend:
Instead of reading books, another quick way is to read the HL7 spec itself.

@Victor, “another” is surely true. But I have problem with “quick way”.
Are you looking for an introductory book? Have a look at http://www.HL7book.com.
You can review the book, see if it fits your need.
You may find “Unofficial Developer’s Guide to HL7v3 Basics” useful as well. It’s available to download at – http://hl7basics.shamilpublishing.com
