fiberglass books and resin preferences?

Any good fiberglass books that anyone would suggest? I am looking for some good reading material to study up before the cooler season when I do the floor in my 20.

Also as a second question can anyone suggest resin types? I'm def. leaning away from West just because of the prices on it. Any preferences? Thanks.

Some of the guys with more experience can chime in, but I'm using MAS which is very similar to West epoxy resin and lovin it.

It is cheaper than West and available really close to the office from an excellent marine store.

I haven't gone for a book, but done a ton of reading here and watching West and MAS video's on youtube.com

the one one in the middle, "Fibeglass Boat Repair & Maintenance" is a good basic book with pretty good pictures.
