Perhaps the best material to work with Go without much other influence of language nor programming style (read: idiomatic Go).

Solid overview of the language with good and clear examples for each topic. The book is a bit old by now, but there hasn't been major changes to the core language so it still holds up well.

Required reading if you are interested in go. Brilliant writing, solid examples.

Solid book on Go, but difficult to go through as a one read kind of tutorial, feels more like a reference book. I wish the style was less dry and a bit more engaging, but it does work well if you just need explanations over the types of behaviours you are seeing in your code.

Provides a great overview of the language with lots of worked through examples and exercises. Definitely worth a read even after working with Go for a while as it shows many of the language idioms so that you write decent Go instead of C-like Go.

Concise, lucid, with practical exercises at the end of every chapter to reinforce knowledge. About as perfect as a programming language book can be.
