Can anyone recommend a good book or two on affiliate marketing? I have a few domains that eventually I plan on doing something with but thought I'd take a stab at affiliate marketing and see what it's all about. I don't really find a google search very helpful because you get, well lots of affiliates trying to sell books on affiliate marketing and I tend to be a skeptic and never trust reviews of people trying to sell me something...not that they aren't necessarily good I just like to hear it from someone with nothing to gain before I spend money on it. I'm not looking for a "learn to get rich in 10 days" book just something that will give me the ins and outs of what it's all about, how it's done and what good resources are out there.
Assuming you want an actual tangible book (not an e-book or e-course), I was reading Affiliate Millions earlier today in Barnes and Noble. But most of these books kind of rehash what you have probably seen already. Some have new info, but by the time a book makes it to print there are several thousand people that have figured out the same method that was printed (if it is somehow revolutionary) and you would be better buying an affiliate product through your own link. But that's just my $0.02. Assuming you're talking about online e-books or e-courses, then Google bum marketing method and long tail treasure. And type "affiliate marketing" into youtube and you'll get some simple and explanatory vids too.

Thanks for the recommendations. Sounds like I should check out that Super Affiliate Handbook. I just figure instead of taking few months just figuring out what the heck I'm supposed to be doing I'd read up and make a more informed attempt at it. Nothing to lose but some time really.
