Hi All,
I want to design my own PCBs but know very little about the subject. Please recommend books or links to where I can begin to read and learn. Thanks.

And please ask with any questions you have along the way. Others want to do this also, and it's really pretty easy and cheap once you get the hang of it.
If you get to Minnesota, stop by any Friday evening at Kilian's Robot Shop of Horrors.

We've got bunches of people waiting to help, or in the same situation you are in asking questions.
And, above all, have fun and try.
Hi Alan,
Thanks for the very informative reply and links suggestion. BTW, can I ask how much you paid Olimex for you very nice looking boards?

I got 72 PCBs for about $210 so they were less than $3.00 each.
I would recommend their $26.00 DSS panel which is 6.3" x 3.9"
