A book on making bows from Germany, from the Stone age to today:

Flemming, Alrune, Wulf Hein, Jürgen Junkmanns, Boris Pantel, Holger
Riesch,
Achim Stegmeyer, Angelika Hörnig (Herausgeber): _Das Bogenbauer-Buch_.
The Bow-maker's Book. European bowmaking from the stone age til now.
Europäischer Bogenbau von der Steinzeit bis heute. Unser Vorschlag,
24 Chapters, Many pictures, 223 pages, Hörnig, 2001, ISBN: 3980587770
Sold previously for: EUR 49,60 / My cost was EUR 29,80 plus 10 for
postage.
Or $40. Presently a Euro is about a dollar.

As I recall it includes stone age-merowingian-medieval bows' details and
the
techniques of using birch glue for holding things - a stone age recipe.
Entirely in German from their only bow and arrow magazine.
Pretty good actually.
