Is there a turntable book?

Try these for starters:

http://www.turntable-kits.com/ultra_turntable_build.pdf

http://www.chicagoaudio.org/tech.htm

http://www.merrillaudio.com/setupbooklet.html

The first two sites are online manuals for turntable setup, the second advertises a short pamphlet for sale.
