I normally get any work done on my bike at a local shop, and it's EXTREMELY reasonable, but I'd still figure it's more economical to buy a solid book that could teach me to do the repairs myself. Any suggestions?

Park Tool, and they have their website to fill in any holes. That's the first choice.

Here's a website for more:

A lot of choices, actually.

Yeah, the libraries tend to get annoyed when you bring back the books covered with chain grease...and it's not that expensive to buy one for reference.
