Default Luthiers book covering neck reset

I know there are plenty of videos on the topic but can anyone recommend a book that cover neck resets in detail? I’m a boomer and prefer to study a book first before jumping into such things.

I’m not quite a boomer, but prefer books as well.
Having said that, I haven’t found any on this.

On the video front, I can recommend Robbie O’Brien’s video with Michael Bashkin resetting a dovetail Martin. Available on Robbie’s site for a fee.

It helps if you’re comfortable/experienced in building/setting a dovetail neck.
Best videos I’ve found on that are John’s at Blues Creek Guitars, available free on YouTube.

Go to Frank Ford's http://frets.com/FretsPages/pagelist.html#Blogs

There are 9 separate neck reset topics under: Repair Technique, Guitar, Neck Resetting.
