I don't think there are any books focusing on PGML or VML, but you may be able to find XML books that provide some coverage. Chapter 18 of _Building XML Applications_, which I wrote with Ethan Cerami, shows how to build a viewer for a PGML subset. Chapter 18 of _Inside XML DTDs: Scientific and Technical_, which I wrote with Robert Biggar, discusses PGML and VML with some simple examples and discussions of what might come in SVG - at the time, SVG was the future, just a requirements doc. I can't recommend buying either of these books solely for PGML or VML content, but they might give you at least a taste of what those tools can do. (Read the chapters in a bookstore or library - I really don't mind.) I know that Webmonkey (http://webmonkey.com) used to have some VML tutorials, but they seem to have disappeared. Since VML got pretty deeply into Office 2000, someone will probably cover it. Maybe one of the more Microsoft-oriented XML books will provide a full tutorial, but so far as I know, it hasn't appeared yet. You might prefer to explore SVG, the W3C's _Scalable Vector Graphics_. See http://www.hotwired.com/webmonkey/99/10/index3a.html for a fairly good (though somewhat dated) intro. If it succeeds, everyone will support SVG, from Microsoft (hopefully) and Adobe to IBM and Corel. The latest SVG draft is at http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG.
