Hi Leon,
In general, I think there can be no doubt that ConTeXt is much more
flexible than LaTeX for book writing, although the latter is far more
well-known. LaTeX has a package, memoir, that makes LaTeX much better for
book writing, but I still prefer ConTeXt because of its much more
integrated and consistent user interface overall.
As for documentation, start here:

BTW: I mainly typeset books and journals, came from LaTeX, and will never
go back if I can help it...
Best
Idris
