IMHO, the best recent book on applied mass spectrometry is Chapman's "Practical Organic Mass Spectrometry". This book provides a relatively up-to-date (for
a rapily changing field) and reasonably fair-minded review of the
instrumentation and ion sources.
There are numerous other general books on MS, but the instrumentation is
developing quickly. For a recent survey of biological applications, you might
look at "Mass Spectrometry in the Biological Sciences" ed. A.L. Burlingame
and S. A. Carr (Humana Press, 1996).
The classical text on interpreting EI mass spectra is McLafferty's "The
Interpretation of Mass Spectra". For a several-year-old but still very
valuable review of mass analyzers, see Curt Brunee's excellent article in
the International Journal of Mass Spectrometry and Ion Processes (1987, v. 76,
pp. 125-237).
On the Internet, the best central resource is Kermit Murray's MS home
page:
http://tswww.cc.emory.edu/~kmurray/mslist.html
This will get you to just about every internet resource of any value,
including the sci.techniques.mass-spec news group.
(Pardon the plug, but..)
We've got tutorials on ionization methods and mass analyzers on our own
web page: http://www.jeol.com under the our products-->MS section. We've
tried to keep the general tutorials as generic as possible.
Good luck!
