Recommended books to read on MIG welding??

[Tin Can]

Can anyone recommend any MIG welding books - (nothing too serious/advanced) for a keen DIYer learning to weld.
At the moment all my knowledge has come from this forum and the 'Haynes Manual on Welding' (which i did find quite interesting and useful)
Just looking for small/interesting reading whilst on the 'throne'
Thanks
Mark

I'd be interested in that as well. I got the Haynes manual as I couldn't find anything else and as I haven't written my letter to Father Christmas yet, a decent book on the subject would go top of my chrimbo list. The best resource I've found is this site, as it's the one place I would never feel out of my depth and/or embarrassed about asking 'stupid' questions.

'How to restore classic car bodywork' by Martin Thaddeus is a book I've found useful. It's not all about Mig welding - it also has very good sections on fabtication and repair techniques.

Covers pretty much the whole game without becoming too baffling.

I know this forum is with out doubt one of the best places for info and advice (i am constantly checking during the day to see whats being posted etc) but i'm just after some light reading and theres not much grip/support for the lap top with your trousers round your ankles 'Know what i mean -- throne'
