What books on stock making do you think are the best reads?

I have an older version of NRA Gunsmithing Guide I bought from the NRA store. It doesn't show on the NRA store, but I found it on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/NRA-Gunsmithing-Guide-Updated/dp/0935998470.

There are three articles in it.

Gunstock Fundamentals by Lenard M. Brownell ( has basic dimensions)

Achieving Gunstock Elegance by Charles DeVeto

Stocking Sporting and Varmint Rifles by Morgan G. Holmes

If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles
