You best going to real SEO forums, like SEO.com, HighRankings.com. There the only two SEO Forums I partake in because most of the people there are knowledgeable.
You can go to my blog, other SEO blogs that are specifically designed and written for beginners (no, im not self-promoting).
You can gain far more understanding on real SEO forums. If you get stuck or don't quite understand something you can ask and get a response quickly.
Yes you get your idiots on them that know jack but you get them on all forums.
I am not a fan of these "Celebrity SEO" people, most of them don't even work in the industry anymore they just write about it.
To many people hang on every word they say.
So what SEO Book should you buy? none, save your money and join them two forums. They will give you more information than any book will and can.

Good recommend.
I have to agree with AAron as well. A friend of mine spent a shedload of cash for a phone consultation with him, purely to see how he went. He said that AAron did very little , it was his sidekick that did all the talking and advising.
Aaron joined Highrankings just after it was set up, he knew very little about SEo, in fact hardly anything at all. What Aaron IS good at, is marketing, and gathering information. Read into that what you will.
In his defense though, his book is probably the best out there, as it is electronic, and gets freely updated on a regular basis. Some of his tools are also usefull to newbie SEO's and also some more seasoned ones.
Personally the LAST thing I would want to do is to carry out keyword research on another marketers website. I mean they can simply have it in their script to pull out and collect all the highly profitable niche phrases. Before you know it you have someone like Aaron competing against you
