Can't help you with books, but you might want to try the following magazines:

Reference(Clipper), published monthly by Pinacle Publishing, Inc., 28621
Pacific Highway South, Federal Way, WA  98003.  A one year (twelve issue)
subscription costs $99 (U.S.) or $119 (anywhere else).  Phone: 800/231-1293
(U.S.), 206/941-2300 (elsewhere).  I've found this magazine to have two or
three usable suggestions per issue, ranging from basic to advanced.

DBMS, published monthly (except June, which has two issues) by M & T
Publishing, Inc., 501 Galveston Drive, Redwood City, CA 94063.  Subscriptions
cost $24.95 per year (U.S.), $35 (Canada and Mexico), or $60 (anywhere else).
Subscription info: 800/456-1859 (U.S. and Canada), 303/447-9330 (elsewhere).
This is a better general magazine, less technical than Reference(Clipper),
with a focus on all dBase-language products and some coverage of other
languages.

Data Based Advisor, published monthly by Data Based Solutions, Inc., 4010
Morena Blvd., Suite 200, San Diego, CA 92117, phone 619/483-6400.
Subscriptions cost $35 per year (U.S.), $45 (Canada and Mexico), and $65
(elsewhere).  This is the most general magazine of all, covering dBase-
language stuff, PC-based SQL stuff, Paradox, and so on, none of them in
as much depth as either Reference(Clipper) or DBMS.

Hope this helps.  I have no connection with any of these magazines, of course,
other than as a subscriber.
