Chapter 5 covers lattice planes and directions. The rest of the book gives an introduction to crystallography and diffraction in general.

[3] B.D. Cullity, Elements of X-Ray Diffraction , Prentice Hall, 2003.

Covers X-Ray diffraction in detail. Chapter 2 covers the crystallography required for this.
