Win32 Multithreaded Programming by Aaron Cohen, Mike Woodring Published by O'Reilly & Associates Publication date: January 1998
This book clearly explains the concepts of multithreaded programs and shows developers how to construct efficient and complex applications. An important book for any developer, it illustrates all aspects of Win32 multithreaded programming, including what has previously been undocumented or poorly explained.
	Advanced Windows (3rd Ed) by Jeffrey Richter Published by Microsoft Press Publication date: February 1997
Advanced Windows, 3rd ed., is a useful guide to system programming in Win32 in C. The book starts out with advanced topics such as working with Win32 processes and threads, and then moves on to other Win32 kernel objects like heaps and memory mapped files. The book then explores thread synchronization (and how threads can be made to work effectively in parallel) and explores how to create responsive programs that process messages asynchronously.
	Multithreading Applications in Win32 : The Complete Guide to Threads by Jim Beveridge, Robert Wiener Published by Addison-Wesley Publication date: December 1996
Multithreading--dividing an application into multiple independent streams of execution--is a powerful but potentially intimidating programming technique. Teaches you how to build multithreaded applications step by step, starting with simple examples and gradually introducing complicating factors and the Win32 APIs you'll need to deal with them. After you've mastered the basic concepts, you'll learn exactly how to implement multithreading applications using C, C++, and MFC, plus specific applications of multithreading on the Win32 platform. The entire book maintains a conversational tone that helps make potentially complex topics understandable.
