Anyone have recommendations for books on the construction of hot-air balloons? Most of the titles I found on Amazon seem rather, ahem, light- weight. Some likely titles I've located, like "Hot Air Balloons" by Spindler & McFadden and "Ballooning" by Smith & Wagner have no review information available. Impossible to tell if they contain anything relevant - hence this post. (The FAA Balloon Flying handbook is the only book I've located so far that is worth spending money on, even though it deals more with operation than construction.)
