Indexes

Hi.
Where could I obtain some White Paper about how SQL Server 2000 manages
indexes?.
I woul like to know why the server reads so many records when doing a select
over the fields of the primary key in a table. (I think that the server reads
so many records as many matches with the first field of the primary key. If
so, can I change it and improve performance?).
Note : I see the records readed in the SQL Analyser.Manuel
I'd start first reading BOL .
