I've not found a book I thought was better than the Google docs, sad to say.
Biggest issue I had was grokking the idea of intents and such; the terminology is not well explained.
Overall I got the most out of looking at sample code. I've seen several suggestions to do the Google tutorials as well.
I do enjoy the content in the Google docs, I just can't focus while reading through it. If I need to read something I usually do better by having a hard copy of it. :(
I'm exactly the same way.
