Jim, the best book to have that tells you "what is this chart symbol" is Chart No. 1.
Office of Coast Survey - Chart No. 1
Illustrated Sail Trim and
Rig Tuning by Ivar Dedekam is a really cool sail trim book. They show you a simple picture of a sail with wrinkles "here", then tell you why they are there, and how to correct your trim to get rid of them. It really boils it down for dummies. No long winded explanation fit for a physics class, just simple diagrams and few words.
