I found a book call “Doing Research in Design” by Christopher Crouch to be the most practical book specific to design research so far. It explains all methods of research from a designer’s point of view and uses design based examples to demonstrate how research methods can be applied:

I also found Michael Patton’s "Qualitative Evaluation and Research Methods” was extremely useful as it goes into great detail about all aspects of research. The fourth edition came out in 2015:
