Picked up the Tony Glover book when it first came out. Must have been early 70s? I learned a lot. First chromatic book (mid 70s) was different. Since I had started teaching myself back in the mid 50s, 
I found nothing in it that I hadn't already learned. Mostly the HARD way. Had a lot of my own ideas and procedures. Some of which (I felt) were better than what was in the book. At least the repair and
maintenance stuff. I still feel that way. Since then I have looked (only) at many books, many videos. Personally? I feel the books are fine. Especially if you can't find, don't have access to, or can't afford  
a teacher.
