I'd agree with the above comments, it is not something you can learn by reading one book or similar. Even getting a very solid grasp on the basics will only get you so far, as said it also comes with experience, run a lab site or two and experiment yourself and most of all think outside the box, be observant.
I have been at SEO for three years now and started out reading forums, ebooks and similar while playing with my own sites for about 2 years before I was comfortable enough to take peoples money in exchange for my SEO services.
To this day I still read forums, updated books and so on, the day you stop learning about anything in life is the day you die. Pick a spot and just keep at it, I think having a genuine interest or passion is beneficial also as comapred to doing it for money or notoriety etc.
Mark.
