The book is "Home Coffee Roasting" by Kenneth Davids and, while a bit out-dated, is very good. It doesn't talk about roasters like the Hearthware but it does talk at length about characteristics of different coffees and various roasting methods.

As for storage of green beans, they like cool dark place. For short-term storage (3-6 months), airtight containers are fine. For longer term, use cloth bags. The beans need to breath. When I order from Sweet Marias, I usually add cloth sacks to my order. They're pretty cheap and I'll soon have enough to use on new orders as well.

This calls for a very special blend of psychology and extreme violence.
