"Bicycling Magazine's Complete Guide to Bike Maintenance and Repair" https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/157...353712?ie=UTF8
about $13 from amazon. Starts off with basic stuff, but VERY thorough. Contains great illustrations of most of the parts and repairs. Lies flat. My copy is covered with grease, I've gotten a LOT of use out of it

Moxfyre's recommendation is excellent as a starter book and for quite a while thereafter. A second, slightly more advanced, manual is Lennard Zinn's "Zinn and the Art of Road Bike Maintanance".
