I received your question, but could not answer immediately, so I’ll do it here. I do not know these schematics, you may check Encyclopedia of Electronic Circuits or radio amateur magazines, may be web sites. You may find inexpensive kits for making such receivers. Regarding the PCB and layout books, I can recommend these books:
1. Wadell. Transmission line design handbook. Artech House. 1991. Excellent book, but unfortunately there are a lot of typos and errors, so be careful.
2. Archambeault. PCB Design for real-world EMI control.Kluwer academic publishers. 2002.
3. Morrison. Grounding and shielding. Circuit and interference. Wiley. 2007.
These are the book that I have in my office shelf and can see right now. A lot of very good books are available. You may check the authors Henty Ott, Howard Johnson, Montrose, Eric Bogatin, Brooks and others. Many of these books are uploaded to EDAboard and you may find them here. RF design and PCB layout are not easy stuff but it is very interesting and exciting. Moreover, if you learn it well and become a good RF engineer, you will have good monetary compensation for your work. RF and RFIC engineers have the best salaries in engineering today, at least in US.
