Aerospace Hydraulic Systems References

(OP)
I started working as a hydraulic systems integrator ~1.5 years ago and would like some good reference books.  I've been looking around and I have heard that 'Hydraulic System Analysis' by George Keller is really good.

I Google'd around for some stuff one day and came upon 'Handbook of Hydraulic Fluid Technology' by George E. Totten and it seemed pretty good from the preview that I looked at.  That being said, it was $260, so I'd like to make sure it's worth it.

I'm a systems integrator and so that's what I plan to use them for.  I'm worried that the Hydraulic System Analysis is only that - analysis.  I'm more concerned with fluids, seals, pumps, valves, maintenance, etc.  Analysis is nice, but I will not use it as much in the near future as I would the other things.

Anyone have some good suggestions?

Thanks.

Hydromechdude...

Try STINET... some reports are dated, but fundamentals are the same for conventional designs (except of course for cutting-edge VH pressure hydraulic systems)

http://stinet.dtic.mil/

and search on

" aircraft and hydraulic system and analysis "

" aircraft and hydraulic system and design "

Etc...
