I also dont feel having a plethora of books is necessarily better. I
would prefer to have a single book, but very well written. If the
second edition of DGG is like the first, it will be perfect. The other
important aspect (and complement to books) is a up to date and solid
online documentation, which Grails has and keeps improving.
