The first thing that comes to mind is the pdf on basic soldering take a look at this page:
http://www.n0ss.net/index_general.html

search for soldering its a ways down there right after the resistor color code chart.

The navy has some good reading on electronics. Correspondance type course that I took while I was new to the navy many years ago and studying and working in electronics.

http://www.hnsa.org/doc/neets/mod01.pdf
Introduction to Matter, Energy, and Direct Current

http://www.hnsa.org/doc/neets/mod02.pdf
Introduction to Alternating Current and Transformers

The first one starts out giving you the theory of how electicity works and goes on to describe electonic components and DC circuits.

I may have to read through that first one again, I forgot about those pubs.

The second one goes into AC stuff (obviously).

You can find a lot more possibilities here
