Kenneth: I made a mistake in my comment. It wasn't Mary McPeek's book I found at VanSciver, but Vera Cockuyt's. (I was thinking Vera Cockuyt but looking at Mary McPeek. A senior moment) The link was to a section with Vera's books. I haven't seen her Cantu book, so I don't know what it is like. I have some of her other ones. They are self-published, and not in color. So she has to rely on verbal descriptions. But there are many useful diagrams in her other books.
