Or, if you want a more formal textbook, 'The Art of Electronics' by Horowitz and Hill is a bible of practical methods. A section in Chapter 1 talks about capacitors and their different characteristics.
But also note that although materials are a good guide to how a cap will sound, the method of manufacture also makes a big difference. For example, a Relcap teflon film and metal foil cap sounds quite different from a V-cap. To me. YMMV
