Could anyone direct me to where I can find useful "how to" information for aluminum work. I need to wrap some windows, doors, soffits, etc. I haven't used a brake or done any aluminum work in several yrs. I can't find a good book on the subject anywhere. Thanks for your help.

I don't have a clue as to books and it has been many years for me also. Just a couple of tips though.
When you have multiple bends in a strip, make a template for the markings. I'd use a scrap of the aluminum and make a straight cut where the mark should go, then an angled cut to it to remove material Just put the template against the strip and make the marks with a pencil, bend at the marks. You can also make one with the bends to have a match for them if they are no 90 degrees.
