I can't think of any that only deal with C18, but there are a few books=20
that deal with PICs and C in general.
Here are a few I can remember:
Advanced PIC Microcontroller - Projects in C From USB to RTOS with the=20
PIC18F Series (mainly MikroC)
Programming 8-bit PIC Microcontrollers in C (mainly CCS)
Microprocessors From Assembly Language to C Using the PIC18Fxx2 (pretty=20
good and thorough book - Assembly and HI-Tech C)

I wouldn't worry too much about it being specifically C18; one as MC are=20
favouring HI-Tech now anyway and the future of C18 is uncertain, and two=20
as C is C, and it's more important to learn the tricks of applying it to=20
an (often severely memory limited) embedded situation.
The manual will give you the details on any C!8 specifics you need=20
anyway, any deviations from/additions to the standard. I got by for ages=20
with the K&R book and the manual for whatever compiler I was using, but=20
I understand it's nice to have some examples, which the above books do=20
contain.
I would be wary of using the Microchip code in app notes for learning;=20
much of it is just basic functional examples to get you started, rather=20
than advice on how you should write the code.
