There are a couple of really informative youtube channels. As ScrapMetal mentioned, Tom Lipton runs one called "Ox Tool Co.", and Adam Booth runs one - search for "Abom79". These are what I would describe as long-format, stream of consciousness, project oriented videos. There's very little editing.
I really enjoyed the writing in "Machinists Bedside Readers" but didn't find them necessarily suitable for a beginner. I suspect they'd be more useful to an intermediate machinist.
I think I may have to find and re-read some of my machinist books -- I think that as you gain experience, you will be ready to take in different lessons from books you've already read. I think we filter down to our level of comprehension as we read.
