I am happy to vouch for William who has been driving the Miami meet ups. He knows his Go and is able to deconstruct rather tricky subjects and present them in a way that's easy to understand. You should check out his blog to see what I mean. Better yet, if you are in Miami, come to the meet-up.

Ditto.. The only Miami Go meetups that I'm aware of are headed by William. http://www.meetup.com/Go-Miami/

I am happy to vouch for Manning Publications in general. I've read a couple of Manning books and have found that their content quality is high.
The quality of their books is decent, but O'Reilly books are typically clearer to read and more focused. I might buy this book today, simply because there is currently no O'Reilly book on Go (not even early access).
I wish someone would provide an early access book on Rust (even if it is a bit of a moving target).
Have you picked up any O'Reilly books recently? The quality is completely variable from title to title. Of the last 3 O'Reilly books I've purchased, 2 were absolute shit.
I've noticed that Manning's MEAP process works to keep errors out and quality high.
Node In Action is probably the most beautiful JS example code I've ever seen in a book.

This. Don't get me wrong, O'Reilly do have some well written books but I find that Manning is only second to Springer in quality.
