I personally swear by Dror & Lafore's "OS/2 Presentation Manager Programming
Primer" (ISBN:0-07-881467-7  Pub: McGraw Hill).  It is for OS/2 1.2, but when
complimented by the Knight book, it is very good.  I didn't like the Petzold
book, and besides, trying to find a copy of an OS/2 book published by
Microsoft Press is said to be like trying to suck water from a stone.

Check out the Dror and Lafore text.
