Our website got much better these days so I think website+user list is the best 
and most up-to-date
source now.

Cocoon has been changed a lot since 2003 so book may only describe only basic 
and core concept still
accurately.

I'm busy now but I try to work on Cocoon blog application based on latest 
Cocoon 2.2 that will have
a database access, obviously. I cannot give you exact dates when something 
usable is going to be
published but I think I'm not that far.

If you elaborate on your needs when it comes to database access maybe I would 
help more.
