+* Handbook of Model Rocketry, 7th Edition (NAR Official Handbook)

+ rockets, the basic principles of static stability and construction covered
+ here are important at all levels of the hobby.

+* Modern High-Power Rocketry 2
+ covers a lot of material, and is a great resource if you're starting to think
+ about a high power certification and don't have a club nearby, or just like
+ to read about how other people have done things and why.
