Couldn't agree with you more. I get into trouble if I can't hit it with a hammer or light a fire in it. :lol:

Well there is Bartons "The Cornish Engine" but as for best books they're long gone I'm afraid.
A lot of the information I have has been gleaned from: The Institute of Cornish Engineers.
A fantastic book if you are willing to pay an arm and a leg is A Treatise on the Cornish Engine by Pole
