There are a few books. BlueSky has put one out one called Mastering
HTML-Based Help, which is really about mastering HTML-based help with
RoboHELP.
You can check out Netscape's site--they have a pretty good section on NetHELP,
and how to use it, that you can download. Unfortunately, I can't remember off
the top of my head exactly where you go for it. You can also check out
Microsoft's site they have a beta compiler that you can test. I've never been
able to get it to work, but you can see what it is meant to do.

SNIP:
Does anyone know where I could find some information on HTML Help? Are there
any books circulating?
