Thanks Joe,
I later went ahead and googled up the books myself; later this month I plan to post a request for book reviews / favorites / recommendations.
As far as this discussion goes I'm one of those newbies that has only recently gotten the bug. I did find most of the links posted in this thread (Keller, Lum, winemakermag.com) on my own. This community is great though; no two batches will ever be the same and there is no replacement for experience.
