The Library has several of their books in the collection including What Baby Needs and The Successful Child. As far as sling preferences go...since I have twins, I have tried all kinds of carriers in an effort to make transporting two kids more manageable. So far I like the Maya Wrap for quick trips and the Ergo Baby Carrier for longer trips or just around the house when one is fussy.

The Kozy Karrier (Mei Tai style carrier I have) distributes his weight better. I'm actually selling my sling on Craigslist (check the Atlanta listings) if you're interested.
