Default Take the leap from hold\'em to stud?

Hi,

To broaden my poker skills a little I've been wondering if I should make a leap to seven card stud a while and try it out. So far I've been playing micro limit hold'em only. Do you guys think that this would be good for my poker skills or am I doomed to get real confused? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I have a decent grasp on general gambling concepts like expectation, pot odds, implied odds, varience etc. etc. but I don't know stud at all.

Are there any fishes at the lower stud games or are they all playing hold'em?

And finally, if I deside to try it out, which books do you recommend? I already have TOP for the general concepts so what I need is something specificly on stud. Is "Seven Card Stud for Advanced Players" sufficient or do a need more? For hold'em I used WLLH before I moved on to SSH and HFAP. Are there any thing like WLLH for stud (that is, a GOOD and accurate beginners book)?
