The old TTL Cookbook was a good friend. The National Linear book was my bible on that subject.

Is there a link anywhere for the RCA book?

Just used copies on sale at a few places.

 

There is on line Colin Mitchell books on TTL Logic and 555 circuits etc.

The National Semi Application manuals are good also I still have my set.

I don't think the books you seek will help you as you expect. From the example shown what the teacher draws will not be found in the books. How that emitter input works is the same for AND gates as it is for OR gates. Your solution is just in understanding how transistors work.

Great books if he can find them anymore.
Data sheets and application notes on the individual parts are useful also.
