Veneer question

I recently came by over 150 sq. feet of burl veneer very
inexpensively. I've never worked with veneer before and was wondering
if there is a good book or something on the subject of working with it
that might make the process a bit simpler. At this point I don't even
know what glue to use and what might be the appropriate way of dealing
with some small voids in the burl.

I also haven't actually planned any project to use this stuff, it was
just too good a deal to pass up.

Yep on JoeWoodworker. I recently ordered materials for pump, bag etc.
from Joe. Completed pump build in a weekend. I have pressed 4 or 5
panels so far following the articles on his site and everything has
worked perfectly. Its now one of my favorite tools.

Good info, thanks. Vacuum veneering is probably off in the future
somewhere, if ever, but I can think of a couple of projects where it
would be ideal. Meanwhile it is hammer and roller time.

thanks to all for their input.
