I think that you will find that if you review "Stick and Rudder" and spend a few hours of dual with an experienced instructor, you'll have no troubles and not require any additional reading
The info is all in Stick and Rudder somewhere, but is rather buried in all the other stuff.

This book gives an excellent, basic introduction to taildragger flying and deals throughly with the theoretical basis behind it, which is markedly different to nosewheel. This helps significantly as you review what you are doing in flight training. The book is extremely clear and I can't recommend it more highly, although it has a lot of typos.

here are some references that you may find more approachable than "The Compleat Taildragger
Best to have actually looked at a book before making comments like this. The Compleat Taildragger is about as approachable a book as I know.
