Yes, but I was specially interested in a good textbpok
 
Well, you would have gotten better responses by saying:

I have looked at various online sources on ... , (such as ...) but would appreciate a good textbook treatment.

If I were not in a good mood when I saw your post, I might have just reported it for 'no attempt to answer on own'.
 
My fault.

Sorry and thank you.
