I liked this book. It dispels a lot of common fears people have.

NOLS and Herrero's books and NPS are good resources as well. Best thing to remember is it's not
food management, it's
scent management. Some things are a pain in the rear: cooking away from camp, cooking in different clothes, where you spit toothpaste, forgetting a wrapper, proper PCT-hang or fumbling with an awkward canister. Then smells you forget about
: toothpaste, beer, fuel, silverware, fishing gear, etc. If you practice the habits even when you don't
really need them, you're more likely to use them when you do. No reason you can't start now!
