too much and too much of

I was looking at phrases like "too much information" and "too many books" and began to wonder if I can twick a little and say "too much of the information" and "too many of the books" although the contexts they would create might differ. Please tell me the contexts I can use them.

too much of the information vs. too much information

too many of the books vs. too many books
