   Format: MarkdownItexI have heard excellent things about Hovey and Hirschhorn (Goerss-Jardine notes in Ch.10 of the second edition that the latter is the standard reference on localization). Is it worth reading only one of them, or should I read both of them, and if so, in what order?

   Format: MarkdownItexNo, the only references for the double category approach are ConciseII and [the original paper](http://arxiv.org/abs/0706.2868) (hmm, the arxiv version of that is out of date, though).
