The book is most likely is about as good as you could get, and the

The site has additional information:

Table of Contents
View code examples (source jar)
Concurrency annotations: jar, javadoc, source
Sample chapter
Errata
Praise for Java Concurrency in Practice
About the authors

I see nothing wrong with quoting the site. There is nothing wrong
with getting paid for your efforts. My complaint is when people try
to sell me a defective or irrelevant product.
