Default How To Books or Classes

I'm a new C3 owner and my car is pretty much restored, but could use some minor work. The A/C doesn't work and I don't want to pay someone to fix it, so I'm asking you genius out there what is the best way to learn how to work on your car?

Did all of you have a mechanic background or did you learn on the fly?

I want to tackle the A/C myself, but don't have a clue. I'm mechanically incline and willing to learn or should I leave it to the experts?

Is there a "How To Be a Mechanic for dummies" book out there, if not how does one learn?

Just asking advise. Tell me what you think.
