Rod Machado's Instrument Pilot Survival Guide is NOT an IFR
textbook, and makes this plain (plane?).

But I would recommend giving it a read, even if corny humor isn't
your thing, because he explains a number of things I haven't seen
anywhere else and explains a number of other things (IMO) better--
or at least differently, which has its own value.  At least borrow
it and read the section on pitch triangle of agreement and bank 
triangle of agreement.
