One good source is John David Miller's _An OPEN LOOK at UNIX_, M&T Books,
1990.  This has a good set of samples for individual widget usage, plus a
chapter that details ICCCM conventions and the OPEN LOOK extensions of 
these to interface with file manager and workspace manager.  It is not a
comprehensive manual, but it does provide a good overview and a jump-start
on OLIT programming.  One version of the book comes with a 5.25" 1.2 Meg
cpio disk targeted at 386 UNIX boxes, with all the program examples and
the source of a nice little utility library Miller uses in the book.
