As the previous two posters are obviously biased, I will confirm that deRosa's book is worthwhile, especially for a beginner. (The fact that he is a mad hard-right libertarian thankfully doesn't afflict his textbooks.) As for other books, the thing to observe is that FX options are not very complex, and then the question is whether you want books on trading or on modelling - Natenberg, if the former. There are dozens of acceptable choices for the other case.

The book by Lipton is more on FX option modelling. Any good one for FX option trading? Managing an FX options book etc... reckon the Taleb or Natenberg book does not cover FX options trading right (at least from the table of contents it does not seem like it)... De Rosa's book also seems a tad on the modelling side...
