Besides a digital-copy of the massive Barnetts manual, I have a little book published in 1985 by Bicycle Books, San Francisco: The Bicycle Repair Book by Rob Van Der Plas. All the illustrations are excellent drawings making everything very easy to understand. For 135 pages, it's very comprehensive.
