These two are basically picture books with heaps of photos of altered rocks. Honestly though, recognising alteration is 90% experience, because your rocks will never look exactly like the photos. Everyone struggles a bit straight out of uni. Its harder now, but ideally move around a bit early in your career so you can see different rocks (and learn different ways of doing things).

Guilbert & Park is good on alteration in terms of the minerals and chemical reactions involved, but its text with a few B&W diagrams.

Geology of Ore Deposits is still around! New edition though: http://www.amazon.com/Geology-Ore-Deposits-John-Guilbert/dp/1577664957/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1341627306&sr=1-1&keywords=geology+of+ore+deposits
This is probably the best text I know of.
Guilbert and Park - Ore Deposits
Before I took any classes on resource geology, I purchased an older book that was pretty handy here, but is far out-dated now (the PDF provided by Paaatrick_Baaaby_Boy is probably far more applicable).
For Cu porphyry systems (recommended to read up on these two papers by industry and a fellow who ran his own min-ex company) one of the go-to papers can be found here by Sinclair and another by Sillitoe can be found here.
I as well am currently using this book for an ore deposits class. it is well written and easy to fallow. Another book I have for more technical indepth descriptions of specific deposits is The Geology of Ore Deposits by Gilbert and Park, this book has just about everything.
