I got the Bow Builders Book recently, and it covers stone age to glass and laminates.  Although pound for pound the TBB series probably has more, and more varied information, I found BBB interesting and useful.  Some good info on "viking" bows, as well as English War Bows, and medieval longbows (not the same animal, I learned), and good chapters on historic replicas.  I'd recommend it, and, after all, can you really have too many bow books?
