Welding is like riding a bicycle or driving a car. You have to do it, not
read about it.

With that said, I would recommend "Modern Welding" if you want to learn
theory, and "The Complete Book of Home Welding" if you want a description of
how it is done. The latter is out of print so you want to check with nearby
libraries.

I basically know enough to stick two pieces of metal together with a
mig or brazing. I'd like to learn good welding but don't have the time
to go to a school and was wanting a good book.

Any recommendations?
