What to know and learn about fine dining?

I'm planning to learn about fine dining, extensively, but to begin with I'm looking for a succint guide to the basics. I have about a year to learn everything, so I'm not trying to rush into a crash course, but I would like to be well versed in the points of finer dining over time. This is moreso from a serving standpoint than a dining standpoint, although both will do. Does anyone have a book or guide they can share that covers the ins and outs of fine dining?
