How do I learn to can?

Hi, all. I've wandered over here from the Cooking Forum since I love to garden, and want to do more and more towards growing and preserving as much of our food as possible on a small suburban lot. I want to learn to can and otherwise preserve food. I've frozen food before, and that's not really a difficult thing to do, but I think canning some of the food is a good idea, too, especially since you don't have to depend on electricity to keep the food good. I'm kicking myself now for not making a point to learn to can from my MIL when I had the chance before she passed away. She was a master at the art. So, I know I can learn from books, but that's not the same, is it, as learning from actual people? I went to the Dallas County Extention website, and there's nothing there to suggest they teach canning. Are books good enough to get me started? If so, are there some y'all suggest?

Thanks for your help.

Sally
