"The Big Book of Knitting" by Katharina Bliss has clear instructions and illustrations. I found short rows very mysterious until I started knitting socks. Now they`re really fun.

You might also try the Vogue Knitting book. I am a picture person and they have good drawings. The Vogue Spring/Summer 2002 also had a good article along with many patterns that used shortrow shaping.

I`ve done short rows when making seamless sweaters to raise the back neck and also to make the back of the sweater longer. Good references for me were Meg Swansen`s Knitting book (there was also a 4-part series in Knitters magazine starting Spr 2000 by Meg that also explained how and why to short row). Also Maggie Righetti`s Knitting in Plain English and Sweater Design in Plain English. My quick references for where to place yarn etc. when turning and hiding wraps are The Knitter`s Companion by Vicki Square and also every Knitter`s magazine issue has a "Knitter`s School" page which briefly covers techniques including short rows. Short row technique for socks may be different though.
