In addition to the one I mentione a month or so ago (something like 'Programming
in C on the Atari ST' by someone like Compute!) there is the Sybex introduction
to GEM programming (which is about GEM generally, and mentions both the ST
and PC versions of it).

Also, I've just found (and bought -- I'll buy anything that looks like it might
have good info) a new book:

  Atari ST Application Programming
  by Lawrence J Pollack and Eric J T Webber
  Datatech Publications
  Bantam Computer Books, 'The Programming Reference Library'

Cost me 22.95 UK pounds sterling.  Imprinted 'in US $24.95, in Canada $29.95'.
(So much for exchange rates.)  ISBN 0-553-34397-1.  Published Sep 87.

Only got it yesterday, so I'm not positive how good it is, but on the face
of it (given the amount of scanning that can be reasonably done in a
bookshop) it looks promising.  Let you know if I change my mind.
