Does anyone have any good books to recomend for playing the Queen's Gambit Declined as BLACK?

My knowledge of the opening is pretty much limited to MCO and Fine's Ideas Behing the Openings, so any good sites or books for intro stuff would be good, although advanced stuff is welcome also.

Chris Wards book "Play the Queens Gambit" is an excellent book and although it is written for the white player it does clearly explain the critical lines...it has a chapter on the OGD as well as the slav, semi slav, QGA and other stuff. It's well laid out and I find it easy to learn from.
