    I own LOTS of books. None cover every technique or skill. Every book,
    class or video teaches you something new, something useful that you
    either never thought of before, or maybe that you had known but
    overlooked. I find that even going back into a book I've owned
    forever often gets me to rethink some approach, or technique. I
    highly recommend 2 videos by Blaine Lewis of the New Approach School
    in Virginia. I found them very informational, even after setting for
    30+ years, as they helped me both sharpen some my of existing skills
    and explore some different methods of attacking projects. These two
    videos cover prong setting fancy shapes, which applies to all shapes,
    and flush setting rounds and fancies. They are not the end all, be
    all, so that you will never need to learn any more, but they cover
    some very good techniques and tools that I personally found extremely
    good, and will be a great help for some one just starting to set, who
    wants to really do it right.
