Research Design Explained: this web textbook on Research design has been one of my main references. Read the specific portion listed below  
Quasi Experimentation: Design and Analaysis issues for field settings, Cook and Campbell, 1979. Possibly the best book for elarning to conduct quasi experiments. Its not an easy read but a must for anyone looking to conduct experiments in messy settings.  
Experimental Design in Behavioral Research; KD Broota. Chapter 1. Has some very clearly written chapters on the basics of experimental design.
