Short but pretty nice book about Go language. It was recommended to me and I am really glad that I read it. It is much easier to follow than GoTour and in my opinion sets up much friendlier learning curve. Book is available for free online  and on Amazon. I have learned most in part 9 about Structs and Interfaces. Really interesting is chapter 13 about the Core Packages so I can recommend those two if you already know the basics of the language but want to see more practical usage. Rating 8/10 (just keep in mind that it is an introductory book)

I thought it might be a good idea as well. The thing is you can't use such packages out of the box. Default import looks like: import "github.com/tj/go-debug" But you can't do: go- debug.debug ( "sending mail" ) In Go, last folder name and package are the same things so you cannot even write: package go- debug If it is so hard, why to do it? For me, most important thing is to easily see which projects are written in Go. You cannot use this project in the folder with the same name as the repository name. So how are others dealing with it?
