Just as hint (with links to Amazon, Barnes&Noble, whatever):
http://www.grassbook.org/

It was reprinted in April, so it should be available.

In general I think that OSGeo should promote better their authors, we have
this hidden Wiki template in the Library:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Library#GFOSS_Books

This should be prominently advertised on the mail site as
"OSGeo Bookshelf".
