I can only suggest:

So many others online are selling their own products and books so I am kinda wary fo them.
I learned everything I know about it from talking to nutritionists and from reading books. I would say taking a trip to your local bookstore is probably a good first step. Just read through a few natural medicine books.
You will find certain principles stay the same in all of them. It's not complicated. Just remember three things:
1. Eat light a few days before starting and a few days after to ease yourself back into a regular diet.
2. Drink an equal amount of water as juice. You want to try to get at least a gallon of fluids daily.
3. Take a good herbal supplement to aid in the colon, liver and spleen detox.
The healthier the juices the better. It's good to keep apple juice as a base to all your drinks... but not the regular sugared up apple juice. Try unfiltered apple juice. Also Carrot, Celery Beet, Apple is a great combo for the cleanse.
I know it sounds nasty but you will be surprised.
Oh, and honestly, a good nutritionally sound juice fast will cost more than eating regular food for those days. Fresh juice is expensive! LOL Just keep that in mind. Don't be afraid of that, it's worth every penny.
