Roasting literature
I'm about to begin in the wonderful world of roasting. If there's one thing I've learned about being a barista (3 years experience) it is that knowledge is an invaluable tool to help you develop your craft. This leads me to my question:
What resources (websites, books, magazines, blogs, etc.) should I be looking at to help me out?
I will be training under an experienced roaster, so that will help a ton, but it will have to be only an abbreviated time of training with him. So, before I begin the hands on experience, I want to come as prepared as I can beforehand. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Marc and Sten always talked up the book "Home Roasting"

Even though it is aimed at home roasters, they said that it was actually very in depth. Also, it is a good first roasting read to front-load you with very understandable information. Maybe buy it and buy a book cover so that no one knows you are reading it.
