I would recommend "Elements of Radio Servicing" by Marcus and Levy, those turn up fairly regularly on fleabay. Another set of books to look out for is Basic Electronics put out by John F. Rider Publications back in the 1950s and 60s, those explain how most tube based circuitry works. Some really good how to videos to follow are the one on You Tube put up by joernone A.K.A Badrestorer, there is a recent series where he restores a really beat up Atwater Kent chassis.
Regards
