Any of the Marcus and Levy books are good. I have one (packed away right now), called I think .... Basic Radio? It's theory, not practical repair, but it is one of two "essential" books in my collection.

Another "set" is the US Navy set from the 1950's, called "Basic Electricity", "Basic Electronics" and "Basic Radio" (as I recall). These are better than Marcus and Levy. The author apparently was a company "Van Valkenburgh, Nooger, and Neville, Inc.", but they were Riders manuals for all intents and purposes.
