If you're looking for ways to learn to crochet amigurumi, books are a good source.  This is how I got started. If you're an independent learner books are your friends. You can buy ami books from craft stores or general merchandise stores. But the best place to get started for free is at the public library.  You don't have to break the bank for a library loaner.  There is such a wide selection to choose from that you may end up with a collection before you know it.  Here is a list of books that my library offers:
