Here are some recommendations from books I have used.

1) Delongs's guide to bicycles & bicycling the art and science.
	$9.95 A good book about repair and bicycling. Does
	not cover the total spectrum of bicycles. A good how-to
	type book.

2) Sloane's Bicycle Maintance Manual. $9.95
	A very good book. This books covers alot of the high
	tech components and the RIGHT tools to use.

3) Glenn's Complete Bicycle Manaul. $9.95
	This books a large range of bicycles. A very good how-to
	book. This books covers just about all types of periodic
	maintenance and overhauls.

4) Sutherland's Handbook for Bicycle Mechanics. about $37.
	WARNING!!! This is a reference manual not a repair
	book. If you want to know what size of threads or
 	type of thread (Italian, English, etc) this is the
	book! If you are going to interchange components
	or re-cut threads this book is a must.

5) Get ahold of the parts catalog or shop manual for the bike
   or component gruppo you own. Alot of times these items are
   FREE for the asking. They provide excellent exploded diagrams
   and parts list.

6) Get ahold of catalogs from various dealers (i.e. Cycle Goods).
   Their catalogs usually have exploded diagrams of components.
   These too are free or the cost for shipping/handling.

I own all of the above books and I reference them often.
