In my opinion, if you are a beginner programmer I'd go with 
Ali's.  If intermediate, I would suggest Learning D by Mike 
Parker.  And if you want some cool idioms and advanced 
techniques, I'd go with Adam Ruppe's book.

Hope the authors agree with my assessment :)  They are all good 
in their own way.

As someone who already knows several programming languages, I found Andrei's
"The D Programming Language" to be fantastic, because it explained D very
well without explaining stuff like what a variable or a for loop were. It
just told you how to program in D. There are a few things in it which are
out of date (e.g. it was written before we relaxed purity to work with
non-immutable arguments), and a couple of items in it have never been
implemented (multiple alias this and synchronized classes), but overall,
it's still very much applicable and extremely well written. And personally,
I just _really_ liked the fact that it wasn't trying to teach me how to
program in general like so many intro books do.

If you're looking for something that assumes less about your ability to
program in general, then Ali's "Programming in D" is probably a better. It
also covers some stuff that Andrei's book doesn't (and it's far newer).

But there are several books to choose from, and the list keeps growing:

Not as good as Andrei or Ali's book, but still good enough for 
both beginner and experienced programmers, and you can download 
it quickly and easily for free (or a few dollars if you want to 
pay them for their good work).

Hence my suggestion to promote it more like the four official 
books you can buy...
