Like others in this thread, this is more (only, in fact) about programming but I found The Go Programming Language to be an absolutely perfect introduction to Go with fantastic examples and succinct prose. It's beautifully typeset as well, which doesn't hurt.

Thank you! I live the idea of an anti textbook :)

I've been planning to get into GO this spring, would this be a good start? Or is there a possibility that it goes out of date?

It will still be relevant for years to come.
