Take a look around Maplin (www.maplin.co.uk) there are some books and other
stuff as well. I know they are not the cheapest, but for starting might be
ok. Also I am sure that Blackwells and Waterstones have some nice books at
least in their larger stores.

But sometimes it is enough to start with the Microchip home page and with
Google. On Microchip website (www.microchip.com) everything had been
described as datasheets and even tips&tricks and I am sure all the new stuff
for you would be only the programming instead of the schematics. By the way,
a beginner book is online at:

Hope it helps,
Tamas
