Just get a logic textbook

I haven't sampled the entire market by any stretch, but of the half dozen or so I have used, Beginning Logic by E.J. Lemmon was my favorite. It only discusses formal logic though, so you'd have to get something else for informal (i.e. debate) logic.

If it still can be found, The Art of Deception by Nicholas Capaldi is also recommended for it's discussions of fallacies and how they can be used as rhetorical devices to win arguements against those who aren't aware of what is being done.
