The Asente and Swick book has sold quite well here...don't know from personal
experience how good it is, but can try to get more information for you, if
you want.

Our best-selling book(s) on the Xtoolkit are the two-volume set from O'Reilly
and Associates.  Well written and clear.  One is the _Programming Manual_,
Volume 4, and Volume 5 is the _Reference Manual_.  There is a Motif edition
of volume 4 available as well...

Email us if you want more information
