George,

For such basic concepts, you might be able to pull together a decent
collection of Wikipedia articles to cover some theoretical ground.

If you haven't tried the Book Creator tool in wikipedia, it is very easy to
use and produces decent PDF and not quite as good ODT output from the list
fo articles you select and organize.
