Let's suppose that you knew nothing about how to run a milling machine.
The kind that is 1/2 of a Smithy.
What book would you buy to learn the basics ?
Community College is not an option.

Re: Milling machine
College or trade school textbooks pop up on ebay from time to time, you might watch for some. Also see what you can find here: http://155.217.58.58/cgi-bin/atdl.dll/tc/9-524/toc.htm
Re: Milling machine
there is a lot of free stuff on the web -
do a google on "milling machine" -- 66,800 returns -
without the quotes you gett all the milling and all the mahine returns also
I have a couple of old texts here 'machine shop practices'
covers a lot of stuff not just mills.

The downloadable books that Mike (panchula) recomended are as good as any textbook you could buy. They won't take the place of experience, but no book can.
Since you're willing to spend some money, the Machinery's Handbook is considered an indespensable reference around the shop. Ebay has a continual assortment. You won't need an expensive late model one.
Asking on this board can fill any spaces.

If there was only one way to do each machining job, the smell of sulphurized cutting oil smoke would have fewer fond memories.
