I second the recommendation of Relethford's book.

Cavalli-Sforza's "History and Geography of Human Genes" is dated (they
studied gene products, such as blood type, rather than DNA directly), but it's still
worth reading. The hard-cover edition has 500-some pages of maps and may run
you $75-$100 plus if you can locate a copy.

Another resource is the "Bookshelf" at PubMed, which has a number of general
genetic textbooks online, with sections on population genetics. This lets you
do keyword searches.

Nancy mentioned some lecture notes -- that's a good approach, too. I had some
bookmarked from University College London, but they've bit the dust, I guess.
However, I searched UCL's website, and it looks like there's a new set of
lecture notes.
