Everybody should read some Shakespeare (or your language's great author) ... but I digress ;)

I'd recommend the Blanchette/Summerfield book C++ GUI Programming with Qt 4 (2nd Edition)
There will be some slight differences if you use Qt5, but the principles remain valid.

I also like to recommend Foundations of Qt Development (Johan Thelin) and also mention that the first edition of C++ GUI Programming with Qt 4 is available as free download.
Don't forget to also use the documentation, pretty much after you understood the concepts like: parent-child relationship, layouts, implicit sharing, signals and slots (a good overview can be found by following links in this page (http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qt-basic-concepts.html)), you can use the documentation to look for classes that are added to Qt in newer versions (the books about Qt are a little old) and also different way to use some classes, one example: QThread recommended use is presented in the documentation (http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qthread.html#details) and in books you might see classes derived from QThread.
