The Catalan is normally considered a separate line from the QGD. You will need a different book for it. Which QGD are you playing? Right now the slav is generally regarded as giving black better chances than the QGD.
QGD repertoire books?

"Winning with the Catalan" by Angus Dunnington.
"Play the Catalan" by Davies is supposed to come out this month!

I like the QGD from both sides but I find the Slav gives greater opportunities, as well as greater risks, to Black. Used to be when I was playing up and only wanted/needed a draw I would use the QGD. Nowadays, playing up is Masters and they know how to grind out the White side of the QGD.
Anybody know of any good QGD repertoire book that covers the Catalan? I can't believe I haven't found one that does. Should I switch to the Slav?
