color grading book for cinema?

"The art and technique of color correction"
"The color correction handbook_professional techniques for video and cinema"
"Color and mastering for digital cinema"

Also you can find great info on some program manual. For instance Apple Color manual.
 
I've read all the top two, and both are essential. "The Color Correction Handbook" will give you a broader scope (LOL) of everything, and the "Art & Technique of Color Correction" is more in-depth about the art. However you will find that they can be redundent at times, but in this case that's a good thing because it will help ingrain it in your head.

Complementary to these books, you should learn about color theory:

"if its purple someones gonna die" (a must read for anyone that has any part in creating an image)
"designer's color manual" (still reading this one, but so far very good)
