Joe,

In my opinion, Marriott and Stucky's __Programming_with_Constraints__ is a
decent introductory text.  

I also have copies of 

-o- __Essentials_of_Constraint_Programming__ 
    Fruhwirth & Abdennadher
    ~100pgs

-o- __Constraint_Processing__
    Rina Dechter
    Nice theoretical perspectives

-o- __Constraint-Based_Scheduling__ 
    Baptiste, Le Pape & Nuijten
    Bridges the gap between AI and linear programming;     
    * This might be the one you're after, based on your email

If this is the Joe Porter that I think it is, you may borrow them if you
want to walk over here.  ;-)
