To learn gcode and about cnc lathes and mills, it might be
the book CNC Workshop ISBN 0-13-091412-6 which also includes
a dynamic graphic emulator written in Java, put out by:
http://www.torcomp.com

But our interest as hobbiests also lie in the actual design and
construction of the mechanical, electrical, electronic and software
aspects ofthe cnc machine, and as far as I know - there isn't such
a book yet!

Maybe if a number of us all took it upon ourselves to write a
chapter in our own areas of specialty, then we could submit the
compendium to TAB Books (or maybe CNC for Dummies) and become famous!
