They're all still published by Willmann Bell , Nobby .
I recommend this book as more contemporary and quite thorough in the french tradition of Jean Texereaux
There are links to sample chapters .
http://www.willbell.com/tm/atmmanual/index.htm
A great start for web pages is the Stellafane ATM page .
https://stellafane.org/tm/index.html
Check Mel Bartel's Mirror Making pages links from this page .
http://www.bbastrodesigns.com/tm.htmlHes probably one of the most prolific amateur mirror makers in this age , although I would tread with caution on his `comparative ronchi test '.
Hope this helps .
