A lot of information about MPW can be found at the main MPW site (http://developer.apple.com/tools/mpw-tools/) including reference books (http://developer.apple.com/tools/mpw-tools/books.html).
Many of the old Apple Inside Macintosh books can be downloaded for free from Apple. I provide download links that I know of on my list of Apple Developer Documentation books, at http://www.gryphel.com/c/minivmac/books/appledev.html. Also, the physical books can usually be gotten used from Amazon for little more than shipping costs. I list some other books about Macintosh 680x0 programming at http://www.gryphel.com/c/minivmac/books/program.html.
Example source code is useful when programming. MPW comes with a few examples. Also, some of the Macintosh software on my list at http://www.gryphel.com/c/minivmac/sw/index.html includes source code. Search on these pages for the word source. Also my Mini vMac Extras at http://minivmac.sourceforge.net/extras/index.html include source.
