I'm just beginning a project that will likely include OpenMP.

Reading summaries from Google searches, the book "Using OpenMP - Portable Shared Memory Parallel Programming" (2007) by Chapman, Jost and van Der Pas seems to be a good start.

I'd be interested to hear of any highly recommended book(s), from those with some experience!.

I can't comment on the book you mentioned. I'm using and recommend"Parallel Programming in OpenMP" (2001) by Chandra, Dagum, Kohr, Maydan, McDonald, Menon.
It isexcellent reading and a good reference as well. However it does not cover the latest OpenMP extensions (which is not an issue for my work). The examples are mostly in Fortran. If you go for C/C++ then it may not be yourbestchoice.

The text by Chapman et al. is often considered the best, including full coverage of both C and Fortran for OpenMP 2.0. Note that it contains an Intel endorsement, in case you are interested in full disclosure.
For the newer standards, you may need to consult openmp.org or the vendors' documentation.
