I think currently there is no documentation for gdk.
But you can learn gdk quite well from an Xlib book, since
gdk is mostly a wrapper for Xlib. The book I used to learn Xlib/gdk
is
	X Window System Programming  2. Ed.
	N. Barkakati
	Sams Publishing
	USD 39.99

It gives a good, readable overview on X programming. Covers Xlib as well
as
a little xt, motif and X in general.
