Try Brad Cox' 'Object Oriented Programming' (Addison Wesley 1988, I believe). He's one of the inventors of Objective-C and cofounder of StepStone Inc. (which used to be PPI). Some people may find the book rather verbose but it gives a general introduction to OOP as well as an overview of Objective-C. Besides, it's still the only book on the language as far as I know.

It's actually "Object-Oriented Programming: an Evolutionary Approach," Addison-Wesley, 1986. Get the corrected 1987 edition. ISBN 0-201-10393-1. The book would have benefitted a great deal from some serious editing but even so it does a decent job of introducing OOP in general and Objective C in specific. The language on the NeXT is a little different from that described in the book, but not enough to cause much confusion.
