'Beginner's Guide to DARKBASIC Game Programming' It's top-dog, I really recommend it.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1592000096/ref=sr_aps_books_1_1/202-3694344-0191040

Oh, lucky you, looks like it has gone down in price. £33.52, plus it is 750+ pages, other then that, check out the resource link and look for DB heaven etc, good sites, also this website has 80+ free tutorials, though once again I highly recommend the book for £33.52.

I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.

(The cover is basically the same... just with Direct 3D instead of DarkBasic... I'm guessing its the same author =P...)
