Hi, Trey,

I'll make three suggestions off the bat:

(1) This list
(2) The IASA guide - I think Kurt Nauck is selling these in the U.S.
(3) My "tips" page at http://www.richardhess.com/tape/tips.htm

There's a whole bibliography that's useful, but probably too in-depth for the moment, but here it is:
