Best 3 books to learn felt/straw hat blocking ||

Blocking hats is a process probably best learned through mentorship or apprenticeship, but many artisans with the desire to explore this process lack the opportunity to study with an experienced hatter. Luckily there are video tutorials and demonstrations, such as my own playlist of blocking content. But what about books? What if you learn best from printed media, or are in search of reference texts for your studio library?
