Couldn't agree more. Those are good books.

However, back in a day when I was completely fresh to OpenBSD, I
preferred to copy/paste someone's working solution, and then discover
which config line does what, how, and why. That's because I had no
clue about anything. It was valuable to read how people designed
solutions to their needs, what combination of software they used etc.
Only at the later stage I was able to dive into documentation.

I was particularly fond of this set of howtos:
