Subject: [Amps] Tube Theory?

Hello,

   Anybody know a good book to get on tube theory?  I'd just like the basics
on how to go from a set of specs and curves to a design.  I used to know
this stuff but that was a LONG time ago.  We recently moved - and I can't
find a lot of stuff.  Including my 70's college textbook on devices and
circuits, which had a good treatment of it.  Load lines, plate resistance,
quiescent points, interelectrode capacitance, etc etc.  Can't find it
anywhere.  I did locate my two copies of "The Art of Electronics", but they
don't say word one about tubes.

   I have several ARRL handbooks from the 50's to the latest one.  Don't
know if there's enough detail in those to actually design anything.

   I see that "The Care and Feeding of Power Grid Tubes" is now available as
a free download...
