I've looked at various different instructional mountain bike books and videos, and recently came across Brian Lopes's "Mastering Mountain Bike Skills". It is far and away the best book out there for improving your mountain biking skills! From beginner to advanced, it has something for everyone. And for those you who who ride with me, I'd say that 50% of of the things listed in the book are things that I need to work on, or simply can't do yet. There's plenty to grow into. The explanations are fantastic, as are the photo sequences. I highly recommend it!

It covers everything from learning how to climb without losing traction to cornering in loose terrain vs with 8 foot berms to sending a 10 foot drop or hitting a 15 foot gap jump. It's packed with tons of advice, drills, skills, and will help make anyone a better rider.
