There were several dozen books published on Ada 83. Remember, that predates 
the Web, so books were pretty much the only way to learn about such things. 
(How did we live without Google and Wikis?? ;-) I've got at least a dozen 
Ada 83 books on the bookshelf here. My favorite (as described in the 
Janus/Ada manual):

Ada in Action
by Do-While Jones
1989, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
ISBN 0471-6078-8
This Ada 83 book is no longer in print, but it can be accessed in various 
formats from http://people.cs.kuleuven.be/~dirk.craeynest/ada-belgium/aia/.

(I just found this link recently when verifying/updating the Janus/Ada 
documentation.)
