Which book helps identify a Flathead and guide a rebuild?

Joe wrote a third book for people who inherit or find a Flathead and do not know what they have, what fits what, or what to check. He says it is not a hot rod book but a guide to what fits what, and he recommends that owners lend it to a machine shop that has not rebuilt Flatheads, because it affects what the shop uses as a machining datum.
