FWIW, which may not be much, there is a pretty good book on the current
version of Gimp  It's called _Beginning Gimp: From Novice to Professional_
by Akkana Peck.  The previous books I've read have all been unhelpful
recitations of the functions behind the menu choices and the tools.  But
this book actually tells you how to do some actual projects.  Here
is a link to it on Amazon.
