Having struggled with learning Java for the last 6 months, I´ve looked for a good textbook all this time. This is it.  Also the info on building GUIs is very good, I was able to download and start using the WindowBuilder add-on for Eclipse, which is extremely useful.  And the author´s style is entertaining and to the point.  Great book!
