Not for beginners

This is a great book, I recently lost the book. Please get this book if you're in the mood for not using youtube 24/7.

A good way to learn pattern drafting

This is a good book to begin learning pattern drafting. It focuses on female attire and was originally written in the 1950s. The designs reflect this. However, if you combine this basic knowledge with a book like Make it Your Own, by Lori Bottom and Rhonda Chaney, you will find that you can create endless original patterns -- as I have done from these books.
