this is the book. I had to have it for all homework and classwork. The book itself was ~$650 and the property tables that was required was ~$50. Amazon didn't have it at the time and I panicked and bought it at an off campus bookstore since the professor had homework due the next class period. Since the book was new, as in published that year, no place around me had used editions. So yep, dumbass over here threw down ~$700 for a book. Thankfully the professor said the book would be used throughout the rest of my heat courses (hopefully).

Crash Course Engineering have recently made a series of videos on thermo and heat engines.

MIT Lecture Notes are pretty handy.

Khan Academy has videos on thermo for Chemistry and Physics.

Engineering Toolbox has good notes.

For the key formula, there is a chapter on Thermo in Engineers' Practical Databook and another chapter containing thermal properties of materials. This is a shameless plug but it seems relevant to your question. There is no dragging of a subject, just all the key formula and values clearly stated.

For bulky textbooks I would recommend Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach by Cengel and Boles.

Nope. I'm referring to Carnot efficiency. If you have found a way around this, you will win a Nobel and a few other prizes, and revolutionize humanity as we know it.

If you are interested, look into a good thermo text. I use this one for most of the classes I teach:

Including in this this class:
