If you really haven't a clue you can start with (don't dare laugh) the Boy
Scout's electronics merit badge pamphlet.  These publications also have
references for when you have mastered the admittedly limited subject
matter. 
 If you already know what a
transistor is and what the difference between AC and DC is, you might try
the Radio Amateur's Handbook.  Most local libraries will have them, I
would think.
