The Apple Dylan TR (available from APDA for $39.95) contains a manual
titled "Programming in Apple Dylan".  It is approximately 425 pages long
and is probably the best and most complete introduction to Dylan that is
available. 

Other sources of info:

In the Apple Dylan TR CD-ROM "goodies" folder there is a Developer
University introduction to Dylan. 

Eric Kidd (eric.kidd@dartmouth.edu) has a "Getting Started with Dylan" 
page at http://coos.dartmouth.edu/~emk/dylan/

There are a few articles about Dylan that are listed on the Dylan home
page at http://www.cambridge.apple.com/dylan/dylan.html.  One of these is
Steve Strassmann's "A First Look at Dylan" available at
http://www.austin.apple.com/dev/develop/issue21/21strassman.html

There were supposed to be one or two books being written on Dylan, but I
suspect that they have been put on indefinite hold.  As a sidenote, I was
in a bookstore last night, and I saw about about 20 different books on
Java (and even one Java magazine.) The Java books were being quite heavily
marketed:  All the Java books were out on display, and were in fact
sitting in a barrel of coffee beans.
