Hello Bill,
I am going through a similar experience, that is, working in FM structures without an expert at my side for the first time. You're right about the massive hole when it comes to FM and structure. Scriptorium's three self paced training books or very short on useful material. The books take you through the basic principles, but the experience is like trying to fly a plane using a catalog of spare parts for the plane.

My guess is that the current market is not sufficiently attractive for publishers but sufficuently lucrative for structure consultants.

Another impression I have is that this structure business can't be all that complicated. It's probably a case of "in the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king". At the moment there's lots of blind people looking for an audio CD on eye surgery to get on equal terms with the one-eyed kings.
Cheers
Ian
