I don't know so much about books, but some guys at Carnegie-Mellon have
put together a MIDI programming toolkit which is free for the asking.  It
is written for a variety of Mac/IBM/Amiga languages, including C.  You
should write to Roger Dannenburg at CMU (I think his address is something
like Dannenburg@spice.cs.cmu.edu, but I'm not sure).

You can also download the toolkit, but I'm not sure where.  For $20 bucks
or so, he'll throw in a manual and sample programs.

Good luck
