The following books contain information about the GEM AES and VDI calls.
I think these books are more clear in some ways that the Abacus books.

_Programmer's Guide to GEM_, by Balma and Fitler, SYBEX Books
      ISBN 0-89588-297-3

_Compute!'s Techincal Reference Guide to the Atari ST_ (three volumes)
      by Sheldon Leemon, Compute! Books

      Volume One:  VDI       ISBN 0-87455-149-8

      Volume Two:  AES       ISBN 0-87455-093-9

      Volume Three:  TOS     ISBN 0-87455-114-5

The Balma and Fitler book refers to GEM for the PC as well as the ST.
The last three books were put out by the COMPUTE! magazine people (you
may remember the COMPUTE! Atari ST magazine).  COMPUTE! magazine might
still have some copies, if your local tech bookstore cannot order them.

Hope this helps.
