I can only recommend what I'm reading at the moment:

Aske Plaats's PhD thesis: http://www.cs.vu.nl/~aske/Papers/abstr-ks.html
(download available from there).
General introduction of alfa-beta:
http://www.maths.nott.ac.uk/personal/anw/G13GT1/alphabet.html.
Everything at http://www.icdchess.com/ccc/resource/links/programming.html.
And also Ernst A. Heinz book "Scalable Search in Computer Chess" what is not a
real beginners book IMO and also not very cheap but a great source
(Bibliography).
