I second on the Keith Code books. Very technical and precise for racing and everyday riding. If you are talking about the Motorcycle Safety Foundation Guide, I would vote for that too. Or you could go the route I took. Become a MSF Instructor and get all of the best books and videos on or about riding and earn some spare change for your effort. Very entertaining teaching people to ride and watching the lightbulb go on when they get it.
Upon re-reading your post, I thought I might add two more cents. Take the Beginners Rider Course. It is a time tested course with lots of hands on training. Good instructors will be able to evaluate you riding and identify and correct skills before they become bad habits. Where I taught, once you paid and passed the course, you were welcome to sit in and observe anytime you felt like you needed a refresher. Good luck and happy riding.
