Queen's Gambit Accepted Books?

I have decided to try out the Queen's Gambit Accepted against d4 and am wondering what books there are on it? I have studied the lines given in Yusupovs book Build Your Chess 3 (A book way too advanced for me - I only bought it because I liked the openings Yusupov recommended in it) but he does not explain the moves very much at all; he only gives long theoretical variations and says Black is slightly beter at the end. So are there any detailed books for Black on the QGA? The variations that I am interested in are

And it would be good if the author could explain the typical plans and ideas for Black rather than giving pages of theory.

Thanks in advance

If youre looking for typical plans and ideas, 'starting out: queens gambit accepted' may be a good option.

I remember reading somewhere, 'How to beat 1d4' by Rizzitano was quite good aswell.

Starting Out: Queen's Gambit Accepted (by Raetsky and Chetverik) has about 50 pages on that variation.  It has a little more explanation than Rizzitano's How to Beat 1 d4, but less explanation than other Starting Out books I've seen.  Rizzitano's book has about 60 pages on that variation with more densely packed info.  They both strike me as being pretty decent books.  About 1/3 of Rizzitano's book is devoted to things like the Veresov, Colle, Torre, etc. which may(or may not) be useful to you.

Sakaev, on Chess Stars. It's a book for advanced players, but it does give plenty of explanations.
