Which ones bolt up to which blocks, push button models versus cable or column shift models, how to rebuild one, etc., etc. Mebby I need more than one book?
 
I heard a book by Carl Monroe is a good book. The FSM for your car would also be something you should always have.
 
I used to order a lot of parts from TSR in NH. Carl owned the shop but I think his son is running it now since he passed away years ago.

I purchased two...

Carl Munroe's book has more history, numbers, and comes across more organic - easy read and easy to follow - and has a whole section on performance, which is excellent. I use this book for more insights and tweaks.

Tom Hand's book is very, very good, great pictures, and great for step-by-step trans building. I use this book for a core reference in assembly, especially.

Essentially, I like/use both.

Thanks Doorkicker for the kind words! Tom Hand
 
I used Munroe’s book and a FSM when I built mine, so far it’s outlasted the 2 pro built transmissions that preceded it. I got a lot of parts from Pat Blais, as well as some really good advice.
 
Another vote for Carl Monroe’s book - with some additional guidance from the folks on here.
