The best text I've read about backpropagation is in "Neural Networks: A Systematic Introduction" by Raul Rojas [1]
He uses a nice graphical approach that is easily understandable yet formal. It's been many years since I've read it to learn for an exam at university but I remember it was an enjoyable read and I wished I had more time to spend on the book.
