Another book from Apple that's good on concepts is the:

	Technical Introduction to the Macintosh Family

It gives a good general description of the Macintosh hardware and software, and
will help you to understand the IM volumes quicker.

Being a beginning Mac programmer myself, I've been looking for the
book "Programming the Mac Toolbox in C" by Huxham et. al. from Sybex.  The
book's out of print so it's hard to get a hold of.  

"C Programming Techinques for the Macintosh" by Mednieks & Schilke from 
Sams has a tutorial section that has been really helpful to me.
