I'm sure there are many good books out there. I use 
"Modern Welding" by Althouse Turnquist Bowditch Bowditch
published by Goodheart-Willcox Co. South Holland, Ill
because it covers the basics, and does not get lost in 
advanced theory.

EAA's (Experimental Aircraft Association) "Aircraft Welding" has lots
of good articles on oxy-acetylene welding, with information on
jigging and notching tubing, and a lot of information about problem
weldment designs, and how to correct them.

Check out "Welder's Handbook" by Richard Finch and Tom Monroe, which
I picked up at an auto supply store of all places!  This has some
really good overview information on MIG & TIG, A/C Arc,
D/C arc, spot welding, gas welding and cutting, brazing and soldering.
A very nice book indeed!  Publisher is "HPBooks".

Try the used book store. Audel puts out a couple on welding that are
so-so, Lincoln puts out the Proceedure Handbook of arc welding good book
for the price, Modern welding is good. The american welding society's
handbook are excelent but technically oriented. 

Also try the local school bookstore. If they have a welding program they
will have welding books. that way when you have a problem, you can take
the class with only a minimum investment unless they change the book ;-)

I have found that "Welding" by Althouse/Turnquist/Bowditch gives a good 
overview of all types of metal joining/fusing.  This is one field where 
there is NO substitute for practice.   "CC"

Lincoln Electric has published the 100 anniversary handbook "The 
Proceedure Handbook of Electric Arc Welding"  It is a good sized hard 
covered book, and I find it invaluable.  It even gives the history of 
welding.  At 15 bucks it is a bargain...

Sorry I missed the original post.  After getting a Millermatic 130 for 
Christmas I scoured the planet for welding books.  Finch's book is 
good and readily available, and Miller publishes an excellent 
technical series on MIG (maybe others).  But the ***Best Deal*** came 
>from  the Lincoln Arc Welding Foundation, which sells a long list of 
titles at or near **cost**.  I got the aforementioned Procedures book 
(the welder's "bible") and also about 6 other titles for less than 
US$40!  Most of these are hardback books that average about $5 each!  
Many are directed toward "stick" welding and show some age but are 
well worth the price.  I also got a couple of project books compiled 
>from  vocational school submissions that are fascinating, as well as a 
guide to replacing cast parts with weldments for industrial 
applications.  I'm on a temporary job assignment and don't have the 
number with me but you can call Lincoln and go from there...
