I seem to recall that Larry Davis has also done a series of
lecture/movies.  I don't remember who publishes them, but I
remember they had a booth at AAAI and were also selling a
bunch of tapes on fuzzy systems.  If you have enough $s
then they may be a good way to get into the field.  I think
they may be a little pricey (for the normal human) but are
likely to be very cheap relative to the man hours spent
figuring out how to learn about GAs.

Of course (yawn), JK's book is the right intro to GP, but it
sounds like you're more interested in straight GAs.

Goldberg's book is probably worth looking at.  I don't remember
whether it has been mentioned.

  Genetic Algorithms in Search, Optimisation and Machine Learning
  Goldberg, David E. 1989, Addison-Wesley.

I haven't read Holand's book, but I gather that it is absolutely
NOT the right place to start.
