Well, I don't have any good literature in mind, but perhaps some expert advice about VBScript programming can be useful:

Program VBScript as if it wasn't. It invites to writing sloppy hit'n'run code where you mix data types without really caring what happens, but you don't have to do it that way.

There is no type safey in the language, so you have to keep track of the data types yourself. Use prefixes for variable names to specify what data type they should contain, and make sure to stick to it, and you will avoid a lot of problems.

Put Option Explicit at the top of every page. It forces you to declare all variables (which makes them faster), and it'll give you an error message if you mistype a variable name, instead of quietly creating a new variable.

Try to put a bit of structure in the pages. First gather the input data, then get what you need from the database, then create the output. Try to separate the code from the htlm markup as good as you can, and it will be a lot easier to follow and maintain. It's also a lot more like the way ASP.NET works, so the transition (that you probably will be doing sooner or later) will be easier.
