I have not seen "Using C with Curses, Lex, and Yacc" but here is a good book
that explains curses thouroughly:

UNIX Curses Explained
Berny Goodheart
Prentice Hall
ISBN 0-13-931957-3
About 280 pages


It covers curses windows, curses.h, video attributes, pads, terminfo 
capabilities, and low lever terminfo library, and more. 

A good reference book covering curses.
