The best book for beginners that I have seen is the Rutten and VanVenrooij book "Telescope Optics Evaluation and Design" that Willmann-Bell has available. It`s $25 and you should get the software that comes with it for another $25. There`s a large part of the book that deals with the design of lenses and there is even a table of the Indices of Refraction for many of the glasses that are readily available. I consider it to be a very good selfteaching book on the subject. After reading through the book you will realize that reverse engineering the surplus lenses will be a very difficult job at best.
