You should find a copy of W9KNI's _Complete DXer_. It is an excellent,
easy-to-read tutorial on how to find and work DX. Much of the book
is written as a first-person perspective of W9KNI sitting down in front
of his radio and describing in detail what steps he goes through, and
what decisions he makes, in finding DX to work. Some of it is a little
dated (it was written a little before transceivers were common, so there is
some discussion about making sure your transmitter is on the same
frequency as your receiver, plus it really predates the DX Cluster
phenomenon) but it's still quite good.
You might be able to borrow a copy from someone in your local club, or
you can get a copy through Amazon:
