Wood carving books, suggestions?

[The Last Boy Scout]

This book would be very similar. I am surprised at the current price though. It must have gone out of print.

I have borrowed this book in the past from the local library who obtained it on an inter library loan from somewhere down south
It is well worth borrowing and inspired me to carve this:

I would echo exactly what Mr Dazzler said re- the Sundqvist book.Before splashing out on the Llungberg book bare in mind it is not much of a "how to" book , but more of a collection of sketches and photos to use as templates for inspiration.

Thanks for the suggestions folks. I just ordered the book that Robin reccommended from a site in Germany (I hope). I would love to get the Sundqvist book but the cheapest I can find it is £70, so I'm afraid it'll have to wait. I can't view the online books at the moment but am looking forward to giving them a try.
Thanks again

Drew Langsner's countryworkshops website is well worth checking out- there's a really comprehensive bowl carving tutorial as well as a forum and other interesting bits and pieces. I saw an early draft of Robin's spoon carving book and reckon it will fill the gap left by the Sundqvist book going out of print so I too look forward to publication.
