I've always found the old Bicycling Magazine Complete Guide to be useful without getting in the weeds.

It really depends what era bike you are working on. Lots has changed pretty recently.

The first book that comes to mind is Zinn & the Art of Road Bike Maintenance. He also has one on mountain bike maintenance too. It's definitely one of if not the best bike maintenance book.
