"DESQview - A Guide to Programming the DESQview Multitasking 
Environment," by Stephen R. Davis, M&T Books Publishing, 501
Galveston Drive, Redwood City, CA 94063. 346 pages. 1st Edition, 
1989.

A very good source on programming using the DESQview API.  This 
is a tutorial book with lots of examples.  Would be useful to 
programmers who find our API manuals somewhat daunting.  All 
examples are in "C"; however, there is lots of general information
which would be useful for developers programming in any language. 

Available direct from M&T and bookstores which specialize in 
technical works.  Can be ordered from Quarterdeck order line at 
(213) 392-9851 for $24.95 ($39.95 with disk - 5 1/4 inch only).

"The Official DESQview Sourcebook," Larry Joel Goldstein, Bantam
Computer Books, 666 Fifth Ave., New York, NY 10103. 351 pages. 
1st edition - Sept. '89, price $22.95 ($27.95 Canada).

A comprehensive guide to the use of DESQview, QEMM and the 
DESQview Companions.  Contains a section on the DESQview API that 
may serve as an introduction, but this is not a programmer's 
book.  A useful adjunct to the Quarterdeck manuals when you want 
similar information "from another view."

James Forney, Windcrest Books, Division of TAB Books Inc., Blue 
Ridge Summit, PA 17294-0850. 1st Edition 1989.  235 pages.  Price 
$19.95.

Not a DESQview/QEMM book specifically, but an excellent book on 
the subject of memory, with many references to DESQview and QEMM. 

Highly recommended to users who really want to understand the use 
of memory in their PC's.
