Many of us probably know about the O'Reilly X series of books. Volume 6
in the series is the Motif book. This volume has recently been updated for
Motif 2.1.

The article pointed to below is an interview with Antony Fountain, the author of
this new revision (the interview is really about why Motif is alive and kicking).
I've taken the liberty to grab a paragraph at the end of
  http://unix.oreilly.com/news/motif_0400.html
which describe why this book is probably very interesting for LessTif :

                               The book was written with the complete
                               reference sources rather than the Open Group
                               documentation, which we only referenced to see
                               what the OSF has documented. What they
                               document, we document. However, we also
                               cover what they don't. This latest manual is also
                               more complete now because it includes items like
                               the XmIm functions and dedicated sections for the
                               Uniform Transfer Model. Motif Reference
                               Manual now reflects the exact nature of the
                               Motif toolkit as implemented--warts and
                               all--whatever the programmer really needs to
                               know. 

The appendixes on UIL were left out of the printed edition because of shere
size problems, they're available as a download of a couple of PDF files.
