Again, look at John Barnes’ book. It’s considered authoritative.

I just bought Barnes 2022 and what I got is something that looks like a mediocre quality digital print with bad typography for quite a lot of money. Disappointing…

I can’t say anything about the typographic or print quality of that book, but I’m pretty sure the content is excellent. I’m pretty new to Ada, and I bought Programming in Ada 2012: With a Preview of Ada 2022 a few years ago. It is excellent. The ebooks from AdaCore are a bit more approachable (for being short) for getting started quickly, but Barnes’ book is more detailed (with useful and important details).

(The Ada 2012 edition, that I have, of the book is professionally typeset via Cambridge University Press.)
