Cookbooks are not really good for learning. You'll want a Step by Step or the cert guide most likely.

Yes, you can get all of this via subscription. I prefer to buy them and own them indefinitely, at least for now.

@scottalanmiller Certainly different in electronic form versus paper. Convenience factor of digital is very cool, but still got the hard copy need in my bones. Won't make me go through the sadness having to purge antiquated books (WinNT anyone?). Like ePub's ability to change text characteristics. Had to use a hard copy book for a class last year which has the most visually aggravating typeface & size I've ever had to endure. Classmates conceded it was bad, as well.
