For somebody who already knows how to program, and enjoys getting a comprehensive data dump, C# 9.0 In a Nutshell.

Yes, it's a truly fantastic book for beginners and veterans alike. It's too big for most people to read cover to cover, but as a reference book it's invaluable (and much better than C# in Depth IMO). It covers just about everything in C# and is remarkably up-to-date.
Joe Albahari has had to work with just about every feature in C# (he's the author of LINQPad) and it really shows in the book.
c# in Depth (4th edition) is also a good book for data dumping how things work in c#, though I think it only covers through c# 8.
I'm not a big fan of C# in Depth as a reference book. It follows a very chronological path (here's what was introduced in .NET Framework v1, here's what was introduced in version 2...), which can be interesting but I don't think it's a useful framing for most people.
