Model Airplane News magazine usually lists the books they've published in the back pages of each month's magazine. The magazine is in some racks in grocery stores, newspaper stands, and LHSs. I think they're also listed on their website.

Ya, its called the Instruction manual for the Sig LT40. You get it with the kit. The instructions are numbered and so are the parts. Then it shows you pictures of the actual part to save you time looking for it as you piece together and then glue the parts together. Check off the numbered instructions as you go along and when you quit building for the day or evening, then you know where you left off. The parts are cut out and notched to fit correctly so as long as you are paying half attention during the build, you really can't go wrong. You learn more by doing than just reading and an LT40 kit is a great way to start! Perfect time to buy it now by Spring the plane will be finished and ready to fly.

To go along with that is my LT-40 build thread. [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_3439708/tm.htm]Pay It Forward build thread!! LT-40 build.[/link]

everything you do will help you build,these fellas here are a great help.any time you run into difficulty just post a question.some people have a natural ability things just seem to fall into place for them others have to study and need good pictures and advice.RC Universe is the best library for any information dealing with RC.best advice i can give you is read the instructions that come with your models very carefully,if you have difficulty understanding just post your question,there is hundreds and hundreds of years experience in a community like this.go to your local library and check out the RC modeling books they have quite a few there also.
