I highly recommend "Macintosh C Programming Primer: " Volumes I and II, by
Dave Mark and Cartwright Reed.  You can find the source code for volume I
available for anonymous ftp at ftp.u.washington.edu/public/DaveMark.

I hear good things about Dan Parks Sydow's books, too, but I haven't bought
any of his, yet, so I can't comment on their usefulness.  

Scott Knaster wrote some really good books, but my editions are strictly 
Pascal-oriented.  You can make the shift easily enough if you have a 
background in both languages, so I would recommend them for getting a 
grounding in the Macintosh.

Lawson English, Russell Mirabelli, and Nicholas DeMello were building a
bibliography of Macintosh programming books, maybe they are ready to publish
it?
