Tube amp reference books

Ok, all you tube-heads out there, help me out. While I love my SS/Klipsch combo, I understand tubes/Klipsch are even better. So, is there a good book for a novice to read though and be able to understand some of the terminology tossed about in this forum? I'd like to be able to understand SET, push-pull, triode, pentode, Class A, B, AB, and info on different tubes, etc.

I have done a bit of research on the net and found a couple possible items.

The Tube Amp Book, 4th Ed,

by Aspen Pittman

Principles of Power

A Practical Guide to Tube Power Amplifier Design

By Kevin OConnor

From the descriptions, maybe the O'Connor book would be better, but I don't need to design my own, just learn about them so I can start making informed decisions. Thanks much.
