I agree with Paul, if you can wait look to Inside MFC. You may also want
to look at the last six or so issues of MSJ, which has been doing a intro
to MFC. Here are some suggestions:

1.) If you unfamilar with your VC compiler look at VC++ for Dummies 2.0. 
This will show you around the VC complier. If you not to certain about the
VC. Sure it is the manual reprinted, but it is about half the cost of the
MS Manual. Also you should be able to find Windows 95 Programming for
Dummies. These two book together are pretty nice if you started out from a
C background or a VB background. If you already know the SDK, then these
will bore you to tears...

2.) VC Power Toolkit has some really nice source code in it. Don't expect
the same Dummies style of hold my stuff. This is just bang here is code
here is how it works have fun. 

3.) There is one from Paul Yao called foundations of windows 95
programming... skip this one and keep you money. 

4.) Remember that VC 4.0 is just around the corner. It should be in
subscriber's sweaty palms in November. So, all these books except the new
release of Inside VC will be outdated.  

Hope this helps, 

Jeff Duska

P.S. If you have question feel free to give me buzz, I will see what I can
do.

Later,

Jeff.
