The problem with Corky Bells "Maximum Boost" and similar books is that they is explaining everything at such a basic level that everything isn't correct. On the other side, if you want a good detailed book you should have a basic understanding of mechanics and thermodynamics first.
There are also no book that is covering everything, dependning if one is interrested in aerodynamics, engines, suspensions, supercharging and so on you need a specific book on each subject to be really covered. A good book about say engines are usually about 1000 pages or so, and even they lacks some information. The best book about turbocharging is likely "turbocharging the internal combustion engine", that one is 600 pages and is just covering turbocharging.
Bosch automotive handbooks cover quite a wide area though, simple and correct description of everything from headlights to turbochargers.
On the internet I can always recommend the encyclopedia
