As a newly-minted PP-ASEL, I want to continue to absorb knowledge and do
all
that I can to fly as safely as possible.

What books and or videos would you recommend that a new pilot put on his
or
her short list?


In your case, the "Western US Pilot's Guide"
http://www.pilotpub.com/id1.html
"Flight Guide Vol. 1 Western States"
"Pilot Getaways" Magazine
F.E. Potts' "Guide to Bush Flying"
"How to Make Your Airplane Last Forever" by Mary Woodhouse
"Aircraft Systems for Pilots" by Dale de Remer
Jeppesen's "Aviation Weather"
Jeppesen's "Private Pilot Manual"
Current FAR/AIM
AOPA Airport Guide
"Private Pilot" or "Plane and Pilot" magazine
Extra copies of your favorite airplane manuals
Maintenance manual for your favorite airplane
Summit Aviation CD
Any "There I Was" collection by Bob Stevens
All of Bob Gardner's books

300,000 points or more at Fairfield Resorts (so you have someplace to go --
whether it is a time share or a cabin on a lake in the woods, I don't care,
but have some favorite flying destination) :-)
