Books
Your Memory: How It works and How to Improve It, by Prof. Kenneth L. Higbee (Paperback)
This excellent book gives a detailed description of the "Phonic System". It goes into much more detail than I have, deals with ambiguities, and has many examples. In addition it discusses how memory works and other mnemonic systems.
The Memory Book by Harry Lorayne and Jerry Lucas. This book does not go into as much depth as Higbee's. On the plus side, it is a lighter read and has examples of many memory systems.
