Hi, I personally love this ladies blog for how to's on painting furniture. She has a whole section on refinishing furniture - https://www.interiorfrugalista.com/#

No book recommendation but this site is an excellent resource. As a general rule of thumb, if the wood doesn't need repaired you can either clean with TSP or scuff with steel wool then clean with denatured alcohol. Then you are ready to prime and paint.

You can paint almost anything if prepped properly first. I like to scrub a piece first, sand the finish that is glossy or shiny and then seal it with a good sealer like Kilz to prevent bleeding through. Then paint and seal. Good luck and stay safe!
