Here's a good start, http://www.pgpi.org/doc/ With the PGP users guide, history, and a "Why" by Phil Zimmermann. GPG differs only with command syntax, not structure. What I tell people is that PGP (GPG) uses an encryption system with two keys. It's like a door, locked on both sides. You need one key to go one way through the door, the other key to go the other way. So if I use your public key, you have to use your private key to get the original text back. This is "normal" encryption. If you use your private key, I can use your public key to get the original text. This is "signing". Everything else is combinations of the two.
