    Some good books are:

    Starting FORTH by Brodie

    Mastering FORTH by Martin Tracy and Co

    Inside FORTH-83 by Ting which is an in-depth study of the
        FORTH-83 system (public domain) written by Henry Laxen
        and Michael Perry.

    "FORTH Applications" I cant remember
        the author but it is mainly associated with building
        FORTH words which handle floating point and the like
        it is instructional after you read Starting forth.

    I suggest reading Starting FORTH first it is funny, keeps your
        attention and will teach you the fundamentals. next,
    read Mastering FORTH .. it is a bit more indepth than Starting
        and will lead you into extending the compiler and having
        that sort of fun.

    If you can get a copy of the FORTH-83 written by Laxen and Perry,
        Ting's book is an excillent text to use if you want to
        get into the internals of FORTH. It is deep but good.

    I hope this is of some help.
