"There are several good beginners books. The most reccomended include" (http://www.ceolas.org/instruments/Tin.Whistle):
 
* "Geraldine Cotter's Traditional Irish Tin Whistle Tutor". Ossian
Publications, Cork. 1983, reviesed 1989. ISBN 0 946005 12 5. Includes
notes on ornamentation and 100 Irish tunes. The Ossian catalog lists it for
IR6.50 (about US$10) with a companion tape for IR3.99. Ossian also
publishes Tom Maguire's "The Tin Whistle Book" for IR2.25; this is much
more simple and basic than the Cotter book.
 
* Robin Williamson: "The Penny Whistle Book". Oak Publications, New York.
1977. ISBN 0 8256 0190 8. Not as detailed on ornamentation as the Cotter
book but has a good description of the modal basis of traditional music.
Has many international tunes, though some of the arrangements are a bit
irregular.
 
* Cathal McConnell, flute and whistle player with Boys of the Lough has a
book+tape set available from Homespun tapes (Box 694, Woodstock, NY 12498).
I've heard good reports about it.
 
* John and Eithne Valley: "Learn to play the Tin Whistle" books 1-3. Armagh
Piper's Club. 1976 (7ed.).
 
* Traditional Highland Tin Whistle is a tutor based on Scottish tunes,
including some transposed bagpipe tunes.
 
For more advanced players, probably the best book around on the whistle,
including lots on ornamentation, phrasing and articulation is:
 
* L.E. McCullough: "The Complete Irish Tin Whistle Tutor". Silver Spear
Publications, Pittsburgh, PA 15217, first published in 1976, revised since
then. (see his website: http://members.aol.com/feadaniste)

Clarke's Tin Whistle. 1993. [http://vimeo.com/27537291 Clarke's Tin Whistle]. (James Galway introduces the dramatised rags-to-riches story of Suffolk-born musician and farm labourer Robert Clarke, who in 1843 walked to Manchester, built a successful tin whistle factory, and eventually returned in triumph to his village, buying the house of the Squire who sacked him. Featuring three renowned international tin whistle players: Bill Ochs (USA), Robert Sithole (South Africa), Mary Bergin (Ireland). This film was made in 1993, to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the invention of the tin whistle. Sadly, Robert Sithole died in 2006). vimeo.com/27537291.
