Hi,
I’ve been hunting for good books too-
I just picked a book by the highly recommend James Krenov (Swedish modernist/craft style). His stuff is aimed at being inspirational rather than a how-to text.
I also enjoyed Sam Maloof’s biography- beautiful pictures.
Though not really in the range you suggested, I also liked Walker and Tolpin’s “By hand and eye”, a fairly technical book on using tradional proportions and classical measurement tools (dividers/sectors/hand span). Available from Lost Art Press
