The internet is a great source for single parenting books; you can easily compare the works of different authors, place an order and have the book(s) delivered right to your door. A good place to start is with checking out the volumes available at www.Amazon.com.
The best way to find support as a single parent would be to find a local support group or an online parenting website.
Check local resources, such as local cooperatives and institutions such as the YMCA, for local parenting classes. Some are offered free, and some for a nominal fee. Also, local junior or community colleges in your area may offer parenting or single parenting classes or groups.

There are many different types of parenting styles. Some parents co-sleep, others don't. Some parents do attachment parenting, others don't. Co-sleeping is a decent parenting choice. Attachment parenting for some people, is not. My opinion is that positive parenting works best.
One can find information about parents behaviour, including bad parents, in many different places. Some web pages one can find information are Parenting 411, Ezone Articles and Smart Choice Parenting.
There are a lot of parenting books available to teach you helpful parenting techniques and you can probably get them at your local library. One of the best types of parenting advice I ever got was to trust your own judgment. Everyone will have opinions on how you should raise your child but nobody knows your child better than you do so go with your first instincts and what you think is in the child's best interest.
Meeting people can be hard and now there are lots of places online where you can do it. Some sites are single parent meet, single parenting dating guide, and single parent match.
