Buy this book. Every novice mechanic should read it and understand fasteners since they hold everything together. This tends towards racing and aero applications, but fundamentals are fundamentals. You will know what thread pitch, bolt stretch, and load stresses are.
Sincerely, someone who walked into a shop as a novice :)
