This is very difficult to say.

First, different people like different styles of books,
and depending on what they know before, different levels
of content might be relevant.

I haven't seen any books talking about really technical
subjects like what you look for here, but I suppose the
pic module is on a serial port? What platform do you use?
I think there is some non-standard python module for
working with serial ports in Windows and Linux, but I
doubt that any book covers that.

Obviously we don't know what you intend for your pic
module programmer.
On one end you might intend to write your pic machine
code in notepad and write code that reads text, convert
it to numbers an dump it on the pic module.
On the other end you might have intended a full featured
pic IDE, with a pretty GUI etc. It's not the same book
you are looking for... :)

Have a look at the book reviews:
