I'm looking for books about fiberglass. Everything from construction to upkeep. I have found several books related to sailboats, but I'm sure there are better ones out there. Any favorites?

German booklet by Ursela Hanle'Petit Easy Primer' is the name as I recall. English translation by Hanes Linke. Basic but still useful information...if you can find a copy.

Check the Aircraft Spruce website for books on composite construction.

Lots of good texts, both basic and advanced.

See 'Composite Basics' by Andrew C. Marshall if you can find it. Very comprehensive and easy to understand. 195 pages published by Marshall Consulting, Walnut Creek, CA, 1985.
