with regard to aiki
books are definately not something to 'learn' out of.
but you can pratice the basics at home, eg tenkan, irimitenkan, and learning the terminology.
ratti is meant to be a good book, though i dont like it much. dynamic aikido by shioda is good, and so is anything by ueshiba sensei. but it depends what style you are practicing as well.
ask you teacher to be for a reading list is probably best.
