Expanding on the information included in the manufacturer's official flight manual, which is compiled in strictly controlled test conditions, this guide details the performance and handling characteristics and limitations of the popular Robinson R22 helicopter in real-world flight conditions. It includes specialized preflight checklists, listing of R22 manufacturer safety notices, and preflight planning conversion tables providing pilots with invaluable information about what to expect when flying an R22 and how to operate one safely in a wide variety of flight situations.
Great introduction to the Robinson R22 only. I would recommend the read to the complete novice only.

Intro to Helicopter flight

I decided to try about ten hours in training for piloting a helicopter. I don't intend to complete this work as of my age and the cost prohibit my considering a career as a helicpter pilot. However, as an airplane pilot I was curious. The book Robinson R22 was very helpful as it covers the preflight inspection very well with pictures and location of the varous parts. Along with good flight instruction it helps anticipate the problems of controlling a very difficult machine. I would recommend both the R22 as a good training machine and the book as a constant companion when out of the helicopter but anticipating the next lesson.
