A really good book for learning Objective-C and GNUstep/Cocoa is "Cocoa 
Programming for Mac OS X" by by Aaron Hillegass, ISBN: 0201726831 
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201726831/ . Although this book 
is focused on Cocoa/Mac OS X (Screenshots etc.) it should be easy to 
pick the main concepts since GNUstep is Cocoa minus some extensions. And 
if you use Projectcenter and Gorm this is even more true (thus avoiding 
writing make files by hand and such stuff, you'll learn that later if 
you really need it).

The book usually gets the best references compared to other Cocoa books 
if this topic comes up on cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com. And I for myself 
can state here that it is fun reading it.
