I hear that Simplified Sight-Reading for Bass (by Josquin des Pres) is awesome if you want to learn sight reading quickly.

The bass bible is also very good, and was an indispensible tool for me learning, but it's tied tab/notation you have to consciously avoid the tablature if you want to get anywhere with learning to sight-read for the instrument.
