You're on the bleeding edge here. The specs aren't finished yet, which
means that if there were any books available, they would be out of date.
Jonathan's article is from "XQuery from the Experts" (Addison Wesley)
which is one of the few books out there, but it's designed primarily to
explain the thinking of the language design, not as a tutorial.
