I also was looking for a decent book to buy/rent and came across the "OpenGL Superbible"
But on Amazon it does seem to have a low score (3.5/5) and the reviews are very various.

I have that book, and I think the weakness is that it is that the examples are based on a home made support library. The disadvantage of that is for beginners, that do want simple examples where you can see the whole solution on the same page. The advantage is for the intermediate or advanced reader, that no longer cares about the basics but want to learn and understand advanced concepts.

If you have understood the basics, then the book is excellent.

Actually, a member of the forum, japro, recently created basic minimal examples, perfect for beginners to start with. See https://github.com/progschj/OpenGL-Examples.
