A quick search for tcl in the books section of amazon turned up a number of titles. Here are some opinions/comments.
I do like Brent Welch's book, but I give it a B+ in organization (I have the 2nd ed; it's now in 4th ed). The book would be better with full syntax listings of commands at the point they are described. Early on I found myself asking "that sounds useful, but what else exactly does this do?" Nonetheless, the descriptions of bindings, file management, and how to get going with TK programming (among many other things) are really useful.
Perhaps just as important is to get your habits right at the beginning, so be sure to look into the programming style guidelines. I didn't do that and it's something of a hindrance when looking at other folks' code. I can't put my finger on the link, but I'm sure someone out there can. For that reason, I'd also consider looking into the book Effective TCL/TK Programming by Mark Harrison and Michael McLennan.
On that note, keep an eye out for online resources. I do most of my TCL programming with the browser opened to the command listings at http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.4/.
Probably the very best place for the serious student to start is the TCL'ers wiki: http://mini.net/cgi-bin/wikit/. Lot's of pointers, comments, reviews, and software discussed there.
Hope that helps.
