Hi,
It looks like I'm stuck with MFC, so I'm gonna need a good book about how to use it. Any suggestions on which is best/easiest? I need more than a quick reference but less than an encyclopedia.

^You don't have to...
You can use another framework such WinAPI, wxWindows, .NET, among others.

You can't both be right :)
Are you also stuck with VC6.0 and the MFC that ships with it?

MFC is not old anymore. It is getting a huge overhaul in MSVS 2008. I have a book called MFC Internals which is a very in depth explanation of the documented and undocumented aspects of MFC. It is not for beginner's and it goes very deep into MFC.
As much as I hate MFC, I think Petzold wrote a book specifically on it that is pretty good.
I am mistaken on the author, but Microsoft Press did put out a book on MFC in similar format to petzolds.
This is a very good book with MFC and Visual C++ 6.0:

You'll be programming in MFC in no time :) It goes step-by-step for the most common GUI controls, DLLs, etc.
