The two books below in my signature can help with query tuning. I also wrote part of an introductory book called Begginning SQL Server 2012 Administration. After that, all the free books available from Red Gate are a priceless resource.

Hi Bugg,
I think 'Trounbleshooting SQL Server, A Guide for Accidental DBAs' by Johnathan Kehayias and Ted Krueger, would be a good read before you start. It's available on the Red Gate site for free as an ebook. (Same link as posted by Grant).

that one helped me get a rather large head start and would highly recommend it. Redgate just released a new one on backup and restores that im in the process of moving to my kindle as i type. but knowing redgate should be preaty good.

Grant Fritchey's book SQL Server Execution Plans is also an excellent resource for learning how to tune your troublesome queries.
