I haven't read this book, but if it was between this and talbot I think this sounds good enough to be the better bet, though I am not really in favour of doing lugs with anything other than an oxy fuel torch. i tried a lot of alternatives when I started out...

However what I would read is Paterek. All you need is in the online version: http://www.timpaterek.com/paterek.pdf

And another way to avoid paying Tim his well deserved earnings is to rent the videos at smartflix, though you should probably compare that. Smartflix is a good service, but it doesn't pay off if there are a lot of discs in a set. I did end up with an official set of the video myself.
