You cant beat the Marcus and Levy books for getting started. They were produced from 1945 into the 60's (check edition date for the era you want) to enable returning servicemen with zero knowledge into Radio and TV repairmen. Many became real good at it and we had a few that eventually became hams and joined National.
Elements of Radio Servicing and
Pratical Radio Servicing take you from basics to real radios. Typically $20-25 on Fleabay and various radio forums. I have a set and reference them when one of the trick circuits shows up.
The ARRL and Jones/Orr HB's are OK for the next step but building a collection will cost more than several radios unless you want to spend years looking for deals
