Affiliate Marketing Secrets

Yes I am well aware that there is lots of free information on the internet to learn affiliate marketing. The problem is the free route is more time consuming I would think. I am new to affiliate marketing to im just guessing. It just seems to me that it would take a long time to read up through a bunch of message boards and websites for a little information here and there. I was curious if there was a good book(or website) that would have most of what I would need to learn in one place so that i dont have a spend years learning bits and pieces and from trial and error. I will pick a best answer and thanks to everyone that trys to help!
