I'm the kind of guy that likes to sit down and digest it all, in my own time frame, before I lay out the cash. One of the best reference books that I have ever read that covers all aspects of welding is the "Welders Handbook" by Richard Finch. It puts the information in an easy to understand language of something you can absorb and lets you know what to expect out of each machine from the inexpensive right on up the ladder. Lots of good pictures and charts that you will use the rest of your welding days.
You can find it at eBay for about $15.95 so the price is right. And who knows it just might help you to make the right decision on which welder is best suited for your needs.
