A Practical Guide to Composites

Not read it, but have heard it is a good book. The website (netcomposites.com) has loads of really good info on it.

What did you have in mind?

I've found 'How to fiberglass boats' by Ken Hankinson to be very useful indeed. Covers so much more varieties and methods than any books I have just for cars.
