"The art of Electronics" is often adviced as a basic, non-academic textbook for beginners and for all the enthusiasts. It is referenced also in several questions like this one. But in the Table of contents it does not have a chapter dedicated to vacuum tubes.
Is there some other book, with a similar approach, which specifically deals with vacuum tubes and shows some amplifier example?

Similar approach may be a tall request- H&H's approach is not typical of older books.
The Radio Amateur's Handbook is a good reference.
The best in-depth reference is probably the MIT Radiation Laboratory series, covering all sorts of military-related wartime electronics work. Many of the techniques can be translated into modern electronics.
