1) how to show...teaching stance/baiting/techniques/anything and everything to be successful and confident in myself that I`m doing a good job.
Books:
Click To Win by Karen Pryor

Born to Win by Patricia Trotter
Winning Edge by George Alston

Books I don't have but are probably worthwhile:

Videos:
Handling I & Handling II by Michael Kemp
Show Dogs by Jeff Brucker
Also invest in a large mirror (I have one that is 24 x 36 and really it could be a little bigger) so that you can see how the dog is stacked from the judge's point of view, and a video camera so you can see how the dog moves, and how *you* are doing with handling, stacking, gaiting, etc.
2) a training manual that is good for older dogs. Behavioral issues is a plus and how to correct...also fun and games section would be a plus.
Same ones as for puppies, really.
Culture Clash by Jean Donaldson is IMO a must-have for any dog owner.
