this isn't a recommendation of hard-copy books, but this might be a good help: http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source...pe:pdf&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&fp=22b4dcbb1403dc0f

If you can find it, I've heard that Manfred Sachse's book is fantastic. I don't yet own a copy as it tends to be expensive (last price I saw was >$300 for the English version), but it's supposedly the best out there.

Unfortunately there aren't a lot of books on patterning, much of this learning is passed on my word of mouth. You could try videos from Ed Caffery, Ray Rybar, and JD Smith. Also, feel free to drop me a PM or email and I'll happily share any info I have. I haven't had a chance to get the "pattern recipe" section of my website (linked in my signature) really well written. I'm going to try and work on it some more in the near future.
