Anything by Charles Petzold, before about 1995. For example:

Does it have to be online? Charles Petzold's _Programming Windows 3.1_
was what got me started way back when, and he's been updating it ever
since. If you stay away from newest API calls, you can write perfectly
capable programs that compile and run under both Win16 and Win32.
