Suggestions for learning to build/design/troubleshooting

Hey everyone... I'm the new guy here!
I am very interested in learning as much as I can about tube amps... I was hoping you could suggest some books that will benefit me in my education.

I have a decent understanding on the basics of tube circuits (I believe). I built an SLO clone over the past year, and read up as much as I could in order to understand exactly what I was building. Modified a few amps, but these were a paint by numbers deal. I am taking Bruce Egnater's "teaching only" class in a few weeks in order to gain some more knowledge.
I'm a big fan of uncle Doug, psionic audio, and the guitologist on YouTube. I think I've learned a few things from Dave Friedman... Big fan of tone talk.

I'd like to eventually be able to call myself an amp tech, and not be a hack who thinks he knows something because he watched some YouTube videos! I like to take pride in what I'm doing.

Any guidance on furthering my education would be very appreciated... Books, videos.. whatever thoughts you have for me.
Thank you all! :toast:
