The "Programming with gtkmm" book / tutorial is really quite good.
I'd recommend that first.  Unfortunately, there's not a good way to
print this book at this point (other than printing it from your
browser, which is not very nice).  I've done a little bit of
experimenting with generating a pdf of the book, but the results
weren't very good when I tried.  There's a bug open about this
(http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=317406) that you can watch
if you're interested, but I won't guarantee that I'll have time to
look into it anytime soon.  If anybody else wants to tackle it, feel
free.
If you want to understand GTK+ in addition to gtkmm, you might try the
official GNOME2 developer's guide.  It covers GNOME, but also has
pretty good coverage of GLib and GTK+ as well
(http://www.nostarch.com/frameset.php?startat=gnome).  Alternatively,
there's a GTK+ tutorial similar to the gtkmm one
(http://gtk.org/tutorial/)

Have fun,
