_Unix Review_ has had several good overview & introductory articles on
X lately.

A book due out in early November is _Introduction to the X Window System_
by Oliver Jones (not the 1 from Bloom County). I have seen a late draft
of this and it looks good. It covers the same information as the papers
that come on the distribution tape, but in a much better manner. It is
methodical, seems accurate, and covers many topics in depth.
