I know I am guilty of asking questions without opening a book first because I want the comfort of knowing someone else has been where I am and improved. I want feedback and support, and last time I checked books don't offer that. They make great resources to fall back on, but nothing beats experience. Plus there are people I trust on this site, and I have a general idea of who will answer if I ask a certain question. I am a damned good researcher and if I want to know something I know how to find the info,, but in my humble opinion nothing beats human interaction.

Thanks for the book suggestions, I think I will add a couple to my amazon wish list.
