I am satisfied with "Beginning Gimp, from Novice to Professional", by Akkana Peck, from Apress. It covers pretty comprehensively the whole aspects of the program and it is well written. Very important, it doesn't suffer from that annoying issue that most technical books suffer that is spending much of the time discussing the obvious that anyone would learn by himself/herself easily with a careful study of the program and online help. Although it was published more than a year ago, it focus on the 2.4 version already, which was then available in beta versions. The other one I have, "Gimp 2 for Photographers", by Klaus Goelker, from Rockynook explains a couple of techniques that are interesting, but it suffers from that problem mentioned above: I tended to read most of its pages diagonally trying to find anything really useful and beyond the obvious. I'd say that is much "dumb oriented".
