Piping Design Study - Book & Course Recommendations

For starters I will give you some recommendations.

1. As you stated you need to invest in some books about piping. I will give you a list of what I think are the best Piping Books. (see below)
   
2. While you are waiting for the books I want you to read everything there is on the pipingdesigners web site (www.pipingdesigners.com) ; There is the "Training" section, "Tips", Tools, "Standards", etc. The Training section is the first and most important. If you don't read and understand that then the other stuff will not mean much to you.
3. Find a really good, experienced Piper who is willing to act as a mentor.
4. I know of no school where formal piping classes are available.
