Welcome Joel! And welcome into the Fold of Fellow FoxHeads!
I get most of my books from the following site:
http://www.hentzenwerke.com/
Under the "Catalog" section Whil has some suggestions on how to select a
book. I have found his operation to be highly responsive, and any time I am
in need of a book or manual that is where I go first, and often last.
Best of luck!
