"Handling The Big Jets" by D P Davies is the classic. It was written sometime in the late 1960s and was seen as a textbook for pilots transferring off piston engine airliners onto jet aircraft and explained the differences. Its still seen as relevant today.

You can pick a secondhand copy up from abebooks.com pretty cheap. Failing that I saw several copies in Foyles bookshop in London recently.
