It might be worth looking at the 'GE transistor manual 7th edition' from 1964. A quick Google will turn up a download.
It includes sections on Unijunction Transistors, Tunnel Diodes and Silicon controlled Switches, unfortunately nothing on Field Effect Transistors.
Covers basics to quite advanced theory, but also has a lot of practical circuits.
An example below shows a complementary astable which can be used as a simple continuity tester
