I am the kind of girl who likes to read up on a lot of techniques and then give it a whirl. I rather books (to have in my hands!!) or DVD's with instruction in them. I usually just use the pictures and practice, but find when I get stuck that the descriptions are most helpful. I am trying to get a good collection of stuff going. Don't get me wrong I love the internet, but a book will never be "offline" cause of a storm--I can always count on that!! So, besides The Cake Central Magazine (which I love), and Cakecentral.com (I am addicted to this site), and sugarshacks dvd--love them have most. What books, other publications, dvd, websites, authors, decorators, etc. would you be lost without. Okay, maybe not LOST, but you know what I mean. What is your "go to" thing to help you out?! I'm talking, baking, figure making, string work, flowers, new techniques, etc. etc!!! Any help would be fantastic! I'm also a list maker--love them---almost can't function without one! So I just would like a place for it to be 
Tonedna has a few DVDs on her website. I hear they are pretty good. If they're anything like her youtube videos, then they must be great.
I consider all of my books as reference books. I try to keep an eye out for them where ever I go. I have picked up several used at our DOS - I have all of Colette Peters books, Kerry Vincents, Martha Stewart's wedding cakes....and many more. I just love all of them for different reasons. Ebay is a good place to keep an eye out too. I got all 3 wilton encyclopedias there for $60.
awesome!! Keep them coming. I too have inherited a vast collection of American Decorating Magazine & Mailbox news & a whole lot of Wilton year books (although I didn't like the yearbooks like I thought I would--so I only kept the most recent) from a friend who no longer had room for them, some back to mid 80's (which was fun to see since I was born in 83--she was only born in 82 so she also had them used ). I weeded through them and it was fun to see because some of the very people on this site had pictures of their cakes and cookies in them.
I love toba garretts books. Also - I check out books from the library from time to time.
