John W. Creswell
Qualitative Inquiry and Research Design: Choosing among five tradtions.
Sage 1998
He gives you a sense of the style, presuppositions and jargon of

While not focused exclusively on textual analyis, it might be a useful
volume in which to glance.
It costs about $29.00 US. I wish it had been around some years ago.
