up-to-date book or tutorial

I am looking for an up-to-date book or tutorial. Is the Mahout in Action<http://www.manning.com/owen/> the only best option? Earlier I saw a promotion code but I am unable to find any more. Please advise.

With best wishes,
Girijesh.

I have Mahout in Action.  It worked well for the pre-release 0.8 code I
tried.  If you wait Manning usually does promos that cover that book every
few weeks.

Congrats on the book, Piero.

Would this book be based on Mahout 0.8 (and exclude stuff that has been marked as deprecated in 0.8)????
