I don't know the Joyner book, but I started learning OOP from an earlier
edition of Budd's book, and I highly recommend it. What I like about his
approach is that he tries to explain the underlying concepts of OOP, 
and the variations on the themes, then
illustrate the concepts with the languages he's chosen to focus on. If
you work your way through the book, you'll be in a better position to
figure out Python yourself, how it's like and unlike other OO languages.
