I wish there was a more modern version of Programming Windows by Charles Petzold that I could recommend for its great, down to Earth introduction to Win32, but unfortunately the fifth edition from 1998 was the last of its kind. If you're OK with the dated context it's still applicable to modern Win32. You can find it used.
