There are alot of videos out there. Try and find the ones from people who tie for a living. One thing i noticed about alot of the youtube videos is that the quality of the tieing.
You won't find too many jig tying books but I like having a paper copy next to me during the learning process. One of my first was Tying Trout Flies by C. Boyd Pfeiffer. Got it a while back at one of the big book stores.
A lot of it doesn't apply to jigs but has very good explanations especially for a starter and is in color. At $24.95 it was worth it to me, though I do tie a few flies.
I'm a visual learner. There are a lot of videos in the archives or do a google search "tying crappie jigs" or tying doll fly jigs.
Here are a few of my favorites
