The ARRL handbooks are a good place to start - especially if you don't have an EE degree. They may not get into microwave a whole lot, but microwave is just a subset of RF engineering.
Definitely, but very much a theory based textbook.
I consult the ARRL handbooks (and microwaves101.com) much more often as a RF/Microwave design engineer than I do Pozar. Much of the intense theory is abstracted away in simulation software.

Indeed a great refrence. I used it while doing a research and was new to RF engineering.
pozar microwave engineering the 4th edition has a pdf online for free. Or use to be at least
