I'm looking for some recommendations on a C# book(or books, possibly) that is suited for someone who is already familiar with other programming languages. In other words, a book that doesn't focus too heavily on teaching programming fundamentals, but
instead just gets right in to introducing the core C# language.
I would appreciate any suggestions

If you're already familiar with Java or C++ (or probably several other languages), you shouldn't have any trouble picking up C# just from the MSDN documentation. No need for a book.

Seconded! Also I like cook/recipe books as the have good real use examples of the langauge and often you end up using the code.

I just purchased Professional C# 2005 by Wrox a about a week ago, and I love it. Constantly throughout the book they compare C# to Java, C++, etc...the comparisons certainly help build a bridge from current knowledge of other languages to C#.

If you already know other languages, and learning another syntax isn't a big deal, then what you are really looking to do is to learn the .Net framework and the Common Language Runtime (CLR). What I'd suggest is getting Jeffrey Richter's CLR via C#, Second Edition book. It will cover the basics of the C# language, but it really focuses in on the details of how it relates to the CLR.

I was actually considering this book and I'm glad to hear you second the idea. All the reviews I've read are really positive and I'll probably grab a copy. Thanks
