Default Fiberglass/Boatbuilding Book?

I went by Barnes & Noble (book store) yesterday to see what they had....they, of course didn't have anything!

Here is a few that they could order;

The Fiberglass Boat Repair Manual
by-Vaitses

Building a Fiberglass Boat
by-O'Connor

Boatbuilding with Baltak DuraKore
by-Brown

Heart of Glass: Fiberglass Boats and The Men Who Build Them
by-Surr

Fiberglass Boats
by-Plessis

Fiberglass Boat Design and Construction
by-Scott

I thought I had decent knowledge of fiberglass work until I seen what you guys and the guys on the Classic Mako site have been doing. I have rebuilt fiberglass school bus hoods and as long as it doest crack you're good to go.

If I had built a boat like I had planned it would have surely shattered like it was made out of window glass! I tend to over engineer most projects I do....so it would have been natural for me to that with a boat. I have done some simple boat repairs, but none where structural repairs.

Any way which of the above books would you guys suggest? Or one I didn't list?
