The best modern introductory general textbook on electronics for non-EE students is:Paul Horowitz & Winfield Hill, The Art of Electronics (published by Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1981), ISBN 0 521 29837 7.
My copy is the first, 1980-1981, edition, but there are later (revised) editions available. This is an outstanding book and useful even to practising engineers. Horowitz and Hill don't discuss vacuum tubes at all (after all, tubes are something of a curiosity in mainstream electronics today), so you'll have to look somewhere else for information on tubes.
The best modern introductory text on vacuum tube audio amplifiers, written for the layman, is:
Morgan Jones, Valve Amplifiers (published by Butterworth-Heinemann, Oxford, England, 1995), ISBN 0 7506 2337 3.
