    Hi Lisa, I have used the little torch for years and love it. I was
    able to fine tune my soldering skills after I changed from the larger
    Hoke set up. The first thing I would suggest is that you get your
    metal of choice and just play with it. Such as melt something big,
    melt something small, practice fusing and soldering. Use scrap so it
    won't matter how it turns out until you get a feel for controlling
    the heat. Make it fun and you will learn. I don't think you'll get
    what you need from a book. Sure, there will be a description of how
    things happen but you just have to EXPERIENCE it and then it becomes
    an automatic response that works like riding a bike.   Patty Rios
