books for a beginner

I am interested in learning about adding, maintaining, and fixing auto electronics as in car audio, after market LEDs, basic factory wiring, rewiring a gooseneck trailer, etc etc. Can anyone point me in the direction of a few good books to start learning? I have done a few installs but I want to know that I am doing them correctly. I am not looking to make a career out of this just kinda a hobby and I like to build my library. I saw most of the members here recommend this: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1588870030/the12voltcom-20 Thanks in advance! Robert

If your going to get the basic MECP, make sure you get the 2010 version. The 2010 version is a revised edition with alot of changes.Jeff

Wow, I dont know how I missed that one. Thanks for the link. Which one do you recommend for a beginner? I am more interested in learning about automotive wiring than car audio specifics at this time(I am back to driving a single cab truck and dont plan on sinking any money in it).
