New to the Blue. Books and Advice?

I learned more about sailing on my first overnight race than I did during the six-week delivery to get the boat to the starting line. (1972-SORC on 12-meter) Race all you can, with as many different boats and people as you can. Distill all the knowledge, keep what applies to yourself, and deep-six the rest.

But if you are looking for information on the best cruising sailboats, racing around the buoys will not help.
