One reference book you should definitly have is IBMs Principals of
Operation.  Its dry but readable and has examples which try and illustrate
how the instructions work.

Note that understanding the instruction set is not the only task you will
have.  Get a copy of the assembler manual which shows how to set up
addressability and how to use the conditional assembly and macro facilities.

Then of course if you want to interact with the OS you'll need various
macro reference manuals as well.
