The book "The Strategic Dividend Investor" by Daniel Peris provides an introduction to dividend investing. The book provides a lengthy explanation of the motivation why focussing on dividends matters; the stock market is apparently less efficient than theory states. The irony is that this inefficiency is partly the result of financial theory that is based upon the premise that the market is in fact efficient. He then gives an overview of dividend investing strategies, but this part of the book is probably too brief.
