I think you misunderstood my comment. You stated that you don't learn how to take photos from a book. My comment was that the guide books don't teach you how to take photos, they help you to get the best out of the tool that allows you to take those photos.
The car manual was an analogy - it doesn't teach you how to drive, but helps you get the most out of driving the car.
I moved from a D80 to a D7000 just over a year ago (had a D700 for a few months too). I was pretty comfortable with most of the controls on the D7000, but I read a couple of very useful guides to help me get the most out of the AF system. Compared to the D80's it was considerably more sophisticated and complicated! The Nikon manual explained what each setting did, and how to select them, but didn't really explain how to use them to full advantage.
At the end of the day, I sometimes find guide books useful, you don't and that's fine. The world would be a dull place if everyone always agreed on everything.
