Best metal/shred books & videos?

Since this seems to be a community of people that have a pretty good idea on what goes into learning to play on a technical level, I thought I would ask you guys if there are any books or videos you would recommend for building technique for lead playing. Any help would be much appreciated.

Any of Rusty Cooley's or Paul Gilbert's Instructional videos those helped me move around the fretboard very quickly , as for books I don'y know, but I'm sure someone else will chime in for that.
And welcome to he forum

You won't regret it. That one's the kind of book that you'll probably refer back to for years to come.
