Default Book[s] available for Constructing Dobsonian Mounts

Hello All,

Does anyone know if such a book exists? I have searched, Amazon, B&N and
Border's without finding one.

Even an e-book would be fine. I am looking for various materials/designs
on the theme...

All suggestions will be most gratefully received!

Alain
