i wrote a few blog posts a while back just for fun.
sorry, i used to have a few online resources for it but i've recently lost my bookmarks/favorites links.
In all honesty, I think that every minute spent drilling tactics and practicing them in games is more beneficial than every minute spent reading opening books, for the king's gambit in particular. From what I recall from using it a long time ago, the positions can sometimes seem so bizarre relative to other openings, and tactics show up unusually often. Ultimately, study what you like, though.
Thank you for helpful comments! Agreed! Tactics Drills is useful in all aspects of your chess game. Still, I believe that some "studies" of proper opening books is useful. Useful OPeningbooks are a rare bird imo
"Best" is not an apropriate goal for a patzer as yours truly. I aim for having fun and an odd improvement.

If Bobby Fischer Always Opened Up With Kings Gambit .. It Must Be The Best Opening In Chess!!!!
Fischer only played the King's Gambit in a handful of serious games.
Oh I Didn't Know That... Thought he Did That Opening Evertime He Played!
No, but he definitely preferred 1. e4 as an opening move - so much so that it came as quite a shock when he played 1. d4 in his World Championship match with Spassky.

Which is the best first book on the king's gambit?
