I am looking for good books/articles for the study of solar wind. I would be happy to get your valuable suggestions. Thanks.
People use this book in the US:
Russell, C. T., Luhmann, J. G., & Strangeway, R. J. (2016). Space physics: An introduction. Cambridge, United Kingdom: Cambridge University Press.
This is the version I used when I was in graduate school:
Kivelson, M. G., & Russell, C. T. (1996). Introduction to Space Physics. Cambridge, MA: Cambridge University Press.
In Europe, I guess people use ore this one:
Baumjohann, W., & Treumann, R. (2009). Basic Space Plasma Physics. London, United Kingdom: Imperial College Press.
This AGU monograph has lots of references and a modern view of the solar wind:
Article Solar Physics and Solar Wind
As for historical enrichment, I would recommend the articles of Eugene Parker (1950's, 1960;s, ApJ) and the ones with the first observations of the solar wind by Mariner II:

Hope this helps :)
Dear Denny M. Oliveira
Thank you very much for your informative response, it contains various suggestions. Thanks.
Hi Sujan. I think the following links for downloading chapter and book may be helpful:
Chapter The Solar Wind
Book Basics of the Solar Wind
Once, I also used these ftp servers to download geomagnetic and solar indices then, I suggest you to follow the links. They may have auxiliary data for studying the solar winds:
ftp://ftp.ngdc.noaa.gov/STP/GEOMAGNETIC_DATA/INDICES/KP_AP/
ftp://ftp.ngdc.noaa.gov/STP/space-weather/solar-data/solar-features/solar-radio/noontime-flux/penticton/penticton_observed
