I have sharpened stuff personally and commercially for a very long time but I'm always ready to learn something any time I can. This week when I was in the library I grabbed a book on tool sharpening that caught my eye.
I believe it is one of the best overall that I have seen on the topic...
The title is (drum roll) "Taunton's Complete Illustrated Guide to Sharpening" by Thomas Lie-Nielsen. Written with more facts than personal opinions.
I was a little surprised that he mentioned but specifically excluded bandsaw and circle saw blades but then again that would be another book by itself. :)
Every thing else he pretty well covered.
If you get the urge to buy a book this would be a good one. :cool:

They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks.... I guess that means "so long as we keep teaching ourselves new tricks they can't call us old dogs.";) Thanks for the heads up on some good reading material. I will put it on my short list.
