I think RDH4 is pretty great, I especially like the section about power supplies and hum mitigation. I believe it's all online now too. The stuff about hi-fi is very dated, but still useful.There's also all sorts of basic textbooks out there about tube electronics which were intended for vocational level radio repair courses, from the 1930s - 1960s. I have a variety of books of this nature - all of them describe how to draw AC and DC load lines, and find operating points, etc. Some are better written than others but all are sufficient for an introduction and the depth is a little better than the tube manual, it's just the RCA tube manual is so ubiquitous. Keeping eyes open in used bookstores is a good idea.
Negative feedback isn't covered very well in most such books, but understanding the subtleties of negative feedback design isn't totally necessary to troubleshoot and repair amplifiers.
