I was actually referring to Frankel's short book Gravitational Curvature where he goes from SR -> GR -> Schwarzschild solution in about 50 pages. There's only a couple pages "introducing" math, mostly to fix notation and define extrinsic curvature. He gets there quickly with good conceptual ideas, but like I said, a firm grasp of differential geometry is needed to follow it.
Weber's book is General Relativity and Gravitational Waves. Einstein equation appears on page 50. Taught myself GR from this book as an undergrad.
I suppose I never thought of Wald as an introductory book as I've only ever read the later sections. It also requires a comfortability with more formal presentations of mathematics.
