IF related books...

[45poundbench]

Hi I'm interested in learning more about Martin Berkhan's IF approach. I dabbled a bit with it last year but made up many bull**** excuses why I shouldn't try and gain weight. Well I'm back and although I haven't been at it for long, I have a positive feeling about this year. Having read almost every article on Martin's website (leangains.com) I noticed constantly "recommended" readings on the side.

For those of you who have read these books, what is your take on them? Did you learn what you expected to?

I don't like purchasing E-books and a quick search of Barnes and Noble yielded no positive results. Do you have any ideas where I might be able to find these books ? (The reason I don't like purchasing e-books is because I always lose them, if e-books are the only way then I will give but I'd rather not.)

Also one more question for you, I've read about Martin's book in many forums, but I have yet to see a link to purchase it, I assume it is not available yet? (I've read the majority of his articles and he speaks about his book a lot, but I haven't read them in chronological order so... I'm sort of lost on the time line of things.)

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Did it not make sense to ask in the IF thread below the thread you have just made which has 9000+ posts of people who do IF?

Upon viewing a 9,000 post thread I know my post would get lost in the fray. No one is going to go scavenging through thousands of posts to see if there are some unanswered questions(which I already know there are plenty, I used to browse that thread around ~3-4k posts or so)

The odds of the post receiving a response doesn't seem to great(where as if someone reads my question directly as a thread title and they do have an appropriate response, they might feel inclined to respond.)

This is one of the least active sub-forums at bodybuilding.com, I did not see a problem with posing my question in a new thread.

There are so many "IF" related questions, it's unfortunate users are expected to use just one thread. It'd be cool if Martin opened up his own forum.
