In Friday's mail was a book I had ordered called "Amped" by Vintage Guitar Magazine amp guru Dave Hunter.He gives assessment and technical info about some of the most iconic amps made from 1937 up to the present and also gives detailed information as to why some sound or perform the way they do and what makes them so special.I have only read about a dozen or so amps so far but it is a very informative book and would be a must read for guys who are really deeply into amp making and modding like so many of forum members are because he gives very detailed info about the electrical components of the amps too.

"Amped" has been out for some time and been discussed in several threads here. Most recently:

viewtopic.php?f=13&t=86717

Its a good read, but there are quite a few significant errors in the book.
