Lincoln's "Arc Welding Instruction for the Beginner" is excellent for stick welding. It is based on one electrode (6010, can substitute

6011) and polarity (EP) and size (1/8"). It focuses on watching the puddle, whipping, weaving, fillet and butt welding in all positions, including over-head. You will burn a lot of electrodes and use a lot of plate steel (there is a section on oxy-acetylene cutting to maximize the use of a plate). If you follow it closely, which is easy to do because it is a simple book, you will be very confident in your stick welding. It is hard-bound and costs $5 from Lincoln's website. John

I'm a fan of "Modern Welding". Very through. Search for it on Amazon.

The little JFLF book is great, too.
