There's an aweful lot of info out there. Don't limit yourself to one book. That said, the TBB series is a good place to start. If you have a specific wood or design in mind, there are entire books written on many.

The Bowyers Bible series in my opinion. If you are interested strictly in native American and in particular Plains style bows then Douglas Wallentines book, Jim Hamm's Bows and Arrows of the Native Americans, Al Herrin's Cherokee Bows and Arrows, Paul Comstock's The Bent Stick.

Bowyers Bible 1 and 2 is all you will need for now, in that series. Paul Comstock's flyer is very basic and very easy to follow. It will get you pointed in the right direction for much less money.

dean's book is not only instructional but entertaining as well. Dean was an exceptionally gifted writer and craftsman. Many of Jan's illustrations throughout border on genius too. Best $20 I ever spent on bow building prose.
