Any good lathe/turning web sites? Books?

Anyone know what happened to latheturner.com?
I found it in the FAQ and it's down or done or something :((
I ran metal lathes in the 80's but never wood.
I traded a few hours work for an old Craftsman lathe + some cutting tools
and tried turning a bowl. hehe, not like metal is it?
I want to make bowls and boxes and other stuff for presents.

Where can I find Web resources for everything about lathes?


Thanks in advance for any useful info,

Mowgli

I have a few turning books. One is by Conover that is good. You'll
need a good book about sharpening too (a good author is "Lee")..
