Default Books/resources about Orchestrating using sample libraries

I am currently studying orchestration but I was looking for something more specific to those using Orchestral sample libraries, I am sure there are many tricks and techniques specific to the use of Sample libraries wich make it sound good.

Agree. A great read and full of useful stuff for midi composers.

Also The Complete Guide to Game Audio (Aaron Marks) is interesting if you're looking for other market places in which to use your composition/orchestration skills.

This subject is a moving target, I'm afraid, as all of the books are out of date, even soon after they are written. However, most reputable developers do provide tutorials for their products, so it is worth studying those in detail and also haunting their product forums, where a lot of useful tips can be picked up.
