The books are good, especially that one (I have it myself), but the best way
to learn is to find someone who is doing it and watch them or offer to
assist them to learn the techniques. It's a difficult to grasp skill if you
are trying to learn it only from a book, but you will catch on quickly if
you can watch or help someone else who is doing it. You will also gain an
appreciation of how time consuming it is and therefore learn which boats are
"beyond saving". Serious structural damage will usually require so much
time that it won't be worth trying to repair it. Finding another boat may be
far easier and cheaper.

Fiberglass Boat Repair & Maintenance
Softcover-84 pages.
A complete, illustrated guide to most fiberglass boat repair problems.
Includes detailed instructions on repairing rotted stringers and frames,
delamination, keel damage. Also covers fairing keels, hardware bonding,
finishing and installing teak veneers.

I have bought the book. I am still in the second chapter. It has quite
a lot of info about doing minor and major repairs on a fiberglass boat.
I love it. And it only costs me $3. It is a steal. Thanks for the
suggestion.
