What about
    "Using HyperCard" ed. Tay Vaughan (ISBN 0-88022-340-5)

for a general introduction and a lot of tips (esp. shortcuts)? This book is
not as chatty as Goodmans, and it's easy to find what you're looking for.

Or
    "HyperCard script language Guide" (publ. by Apple through Addison Wesley)

which is a lexicon for HyperTalk (it also explains the  XCMD/XFCN -interface).
A draft of this book was published by APDA. I think the Guide is the _true_
HyperTalk-Bible.
