As Rob said above, the Clemens book is the baseline for all thread work and everyone has started off his patterns. The most current and popular is the book by Billy Vivona from New York; his stuff is insane. You really dont need books to learn, just have an understanding of what it means by +1 and -1 when it comes to thread counts, and you can develop anything you want!
Nice pattern under the stripper guide Peter; classic style!!!
