Maybe a touch of thread drift here, but I wonder how many of todays airline pilots under the age of 40 brought up on magenta lines and automation have even heard of, never mind studied, the excellent "Handling the Big Jets" book by D P Davies? It may have been written many years ago but most of it is still relevant today as a primer to flying large jet aircraft and a reference volume. It became my bible when I transitioned from Twin Otters to the 737-200, and I still referred to it many years later while flying much larger types.
