Yeah, DP loves to roast noobs...
Just lurk, watch noobs make mistakes you might have, then when you feel like you could really ask a question worth asking, go for it.

Do you have a general knowledge of PCs, first & foremost?

I do have a general knowledge of pcs, as well as soldering and what not (although I dont think Ill need to solder much). What I want the book for, is to know what kind of things to get, and how to set them up so that they will suit my needs.

I too have some computer background and extensive Car Audio background, but as a noob to carputers, the information is intimidating. It is obvious that there is a wealth of knowledge on this site. However, the books offer something that I don't feel this site has yet.....A friendly, helpful intoduction in the carputer world. I'm not familiar with some of the terminolgy, everything that is needed, what would best suit my needs, all of the cables needed to hook up this or that, etc.
Plus it would serve as excellent reading material for the ****ter.

I doubt that is the case......probably more willing to spend days trying to make sense of some of these threads, sifting through the crap to get to the useful stuff.
I plan on  ing before I start to ask questions....but it seems that some are a little too annoyed with noobs. You got to understand that time is at a premium for me now and can't sit in front of the computer forever when someone could simply help a person out and share there knowledge and flex there carputer muscles.

Welcome to the forum! Hopefully you'll find everything you need here. As far as time being a premium for you, I think that's true of most of us. So just politely ignore short and abrupt posts from folks who feel they can't sit in front of the computer forever answering questions that are asked frequently.
Hopefully you've seen the FAQ Emporium. Particularly the FAQ to the FAQ's which tries to consolidate the many threads (not all of which are in the FAQ Emporium) to save search time for folks.
If it's not meeting your needs, consider posting a constructive suggestion about what would be more helpful.

I got both of these books today as Christmas gifts and a Griffen Power Mate 
Not sure what else I'll get from the book as most everything is in this forum. I just like being able to browse off line. I'm sure I'll pick up a lot of ideas and stuff browsing all the photos as well.

Check your local libraries. Mine did not have anything, but I requested Car PC Hacks and they bought it. I then checked it out for 2 months. 
I thought it was an OK book but it didnt go far enough in depth.
