I am doing some GWT work for few weeks. I feel pretty confident with GWT and now want to read something to fill missed areas.
Fast search on Amazon returns five or so books so seems I need recommendation what to choose.

Have you tried the official Developer guide (http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/1.6/DevGuide.html) from Google? Is there anything missing there, that you are trying to find it in a book? Just trying to understand the need better. Thanks.

Well, often I doing some development with sdks, examples, guides and so on. After few weeks I often read first book on the topic. This helps to discover missed areas. But as far I see there is no such book. This is not a problem, tought. Thanks.

Yeah the google documentation online I would say is your best bet. If you're looking for a dead tree version though, I've always enjoyed the Manning books. They're the ones with the multicultural individuals on the cover

It's probably not as up to date as google's online stuff, but I've liked the PragProg's stuff...

GWT in Action helped me quite a bit. But I used it in the early days and I dont think they have another edition out yet.

I'm currently reading Google Web Toolkit Applications by Dewsbury. It's got some more down-to-earth examples that could be applied for your next project.

My advice is not to waste money on books - GWT is evolving on a daily basis and the only book you need is the google documentation, as other are pointing out.
If you really must have a book, I'd say GWT in Action, but as stated above keep into account that this stuff gets out of date very fast.
