Chaz,

Try "Be Expert With Map and Compass" by Bjorn Kellstrom. He invented the protractor (Silva) compass and literally "wrote the book" on its use.


If, on the off chance, you have a military style lensatic compass you'll be better off using a military manual for understanding the exact use of it, though Kellstrom's book is still a great guide for common orienteering problems.
