Tune To Win by Carroll Smith is a great book but VERY dry and not a starter book.
Mark Savitske's book is a great start and probably the only one dedicated to muscle cars. Buy it here:

We also carry this handy Carroll Smith flip book which fits in a pocket or glove box. It's like the FAQ of chassis tuning. $16 shipped.
