ReactJS Books
The Road to learn React takes you on the journey learning React the pragmatic way. You will build a real world application, consume a real API, write tests for your application, implement exciting features such as caching and filtering, and deploy your application in the end. Along the way, you will transition smoothly from JavaScript ES5 to JavaScript ES6 and beyond. Furthermore you will learn plenty of vanilla JavaScript things. Everything without all the other complex tooling and libraries that surround React.
Here you will get best ReactJS books for building user interfaces.This is an up-to-date list of recommended books for learning React.

He begins by describing the React architecture and the benefits it offers and then shows you how to use React and its associated tools and libraries in your projects, starting from the nuts and bolts and building up to the most advanced and sophisticated features, going in-depth to give you the knowledge you need.
2.Learning React
- A Hands-On Guide to Building Web Applications Using React and Redux (2nd Edition)
As far as new web frameworks and libraries go, React is quite the runaway success. It not only deals with the most common problems developers face when building complex apps, it throws in a few additional tricks that make building the visuals for such apps much, much easier.
What React isn’t, though, is beginner-friendly and approachable. Until now. In Learning React , author Kirupa Chinnathambi brings his fresh, clear, and very personable writing style to help web developers new to React understand its fundamentals and how to use it to build really performant (and awesome) apps.
