You might look for an early version of the Radiotron Designer's' Handbook (1940-1945, up to 3rd edition). It's about 300 pages, and covers quite a bit. A used copy can be had for $9 on Amazon. Some editions are titled "Radio Designer's Handbook."

The later fourth edition (1500 page) version can come a LOT later...
