It may be longer than you want, but my methods "bible" is Bernard's Research Methods in Anthropology (now in its 4th edition). It covers unstructured, seminstructured, and structured interviews, focus groups, research record keeping, sample selection, and bunches of other useful topics. I have had dozens of students who've done research and who've successfully used Bernard either in whole or in part. I usually sit down with them and the book, and I point out the specific sections which would be useful for them.
