When I started out in this field, there were the mags (AGW etc), about ten or twelve hard to find books, including WHB's, and stuff you heard from your RFD or mates in the pub. Amazing how much the Internet has increased the volume of detailed accurate info in places like this forum - and of course, the amount of rubbish in online reviews, on Youtube, etc.
