I am an ever learning woodworker and was wondering if you older peeps
could recomend some books that have proved worth the read. I purchased
a Router resource and was amazed at how much it propelled my knowledge
of the tool forward.
Specifically really good books on sharpening, jigs, work flow, etc.

Just hit the library and see what's in their catalog...

The Feb '05 (current) Fine WoodWorking has "27 books every woodworker
should read". Should be a good place to start.

Work flow? Raw wood comes in the door, gets worked up and
something nice goes out the door. That's all you need to
know about work flow.

Not if you want to make money.

Everyone should feel free to knock themselves out with their
flow charts and three dimensional shop layouts. Me? I'm
still living in the world where the rec. in rec.woodworking
means recreational so I won't be bunching up my panties and
puckering up my sphincter over the fact that my radial arm
saw is against the far wall of the shop (where it fits best)
and you have to go past the jointer (between the door and
the radial arm saw/where it fits best) to get to it. Oh,
and at the risk of everyone breaking out in hives, I have my
other machines scattered all about the shop (where they fit
best) with no regard for work flow.

UA100, who, in case the above comments weren't clear, thinks
fretting over work flow in a hobbyist shop is about the
silliest thing anyone could ever waste their time on...

Well, I have to plan my work flow! First, the car & pick-me-up truck have
to flow outa the shop. Then, I have to cut whatever tool I need to use
from the tightly packed herd and roll it out into the enormous void left
by flowing the cars/trucks into the driveway. When I'm done making a mess
and before nightfall, all these critters have to flow back to their
respective spots so the HOA busybody won't think I'm leaving my vehicles
in the driveway and participating in some verboten activity in my garage.

So, yeah - there's a lot of "flow" involved in my "rec".

Work flow gets pretty damn simple if there's only one of you in the
workshop.

(and yes, I've designed stuff for car production lines too)

I'd recommend this one (disclaimer: I probably don't qualify as an "older
peep"):

My favourites for the specifics you list. But go to the library or a
WW show to browse to see what suits you before buying.

"Sharpening": by Leonard Lee or Jim Kingshott
Jigs: "Proven shop tips" or More proven shop tips" both by Taunton.
Work flow: "The Workshop Boook" by Landis.
