Violin books can be scandalously expensive. However, remember that inter-library loan is a thing. The librarians at our military post library are so great -- in addition to knowing all my kids' names and handing out noisemaker toys in the summer reading program (did your librarian ever give your kids a cowbell? I think not) -- they got pretty excited for the chance track down rare books.
These are the books on my hunting list:
Making a Simple Violin and Viola by Ronald Robertson. (This is a specialty book about trapezoidal instruments.)
The Art of Violin making by Chris Johnson and Roy Courtnall.
Violin making step by step Henry Strobel.
Violin-Making a practical guide by Juliet Barker (This one is really cheap enough to buy -- $20 used on Amazon right now.)
