I agree with the other replies: most definitely get Andrei's book (known
by its acronym TDPL around these parts). I had been intending to get
into D for a while before I found the book in my local bookstore; but it
was after I started reading it that I *really* started to grok what D
was about.

In short, it's a definite must-read. Even though there are some (small)
discrepancies between the book and the current D implementation, the
intent is to move in the direction of the book. So you'll be missing out
a lot if you pass over it.
