In this day and age, internet gives a lot of information. It is great for a quick search. I just came to the realisation that it can be good but sometimes, I felt in the need to go a step further. A recent search on woodburning help me in differencing between the internet and books. It was on woodburning. I did found a few websites on the topic. It is is mainly for really first time beginner. (for example: http://www.wikihow.com/Woodburn) I am not in this category. I know a bit but I am not totally a beginner. I would say I am an advanced beginner, almost into the intermediary level.
There are site that have a little bit more information or show some woodburning pens that I never saw before (http://www.patrickfaleur.com/pyrography/, http://www.scorchpyro.co.uk/Techniques.html and http://www.instructables.com/id/Wood-burning-101-Techniques-and-Tricks/) and some that sound to be a constant work in progress but have a lot of info nonetheless. (http://www.suewalters.com/PyroSchool.html#1)
I was more lucky with books. I had found more what I was looking for in books. I had found a book that could field the last gaps that I have to learn (http://www.amazon.ca/Pyrography-Basics-Techniques-Exercises-Beginners/dp/1574215051/ref=pd_sim_14_7?ie=UTF8&dpID=51n5TKbh8wL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR124%2C160_&refRID=10DWT1S6S8SKTG9H7ZQB)
This one is similar to the other but I have not decided if I will take it. (http://www.amazon.ca/Learn-Burn-Step-Step-Pyrography/dp/1565237285/ref=pd_sim_14_4?ie=UTF8&dpID=51RDHBGv2cL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR124%2C160_&refRID=10DWT1S6S8SKTG9H7ZQB)
I found one that get me excited. I think it is the type of book that I need right now. I am more geared into patterns and creating my own projects right now (http://www.amazon.ca/Woodburning-Project-Pattern-Treasury-Match/dp/1565234820/ref=pd_sim_14_2?ie=UTF8&dpID=61ykerHJ6oL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR124%2C160_&refRID=10DWT1S6S8SKTG9H7ZQB)
This one is tempting. It seems to be complete and have troubleshooting too. I do not know, at this point if I will get it right away: (http://www.amazon.ca/Pyrography-Workbook-Complete-Guide-Woodburning/dp/1565232585/ref=pd_sim_14_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=617Vz5utQ6L&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR123%2C160_&refRID=01HWZNDC0CW3JK822KZ)
There are other books but I think these will wait a little bit before I have a look at them. I don't know if I could find them in a local bookstore to browse all of them before buying them. I may do that after the Holidays. I am not in a hurry to get them. I can do projects anyway. I also think of looking on drawing ressources because I know it is a weak point of mine.
