"Printed Circuits Handbook", by Clyde F. Coombs.
I borrowed it from the university library once and it answered
many questions I had about commercial PCB fabrication techniques.
When starting up my own personal plated through hole station I
needed an understanding of the process and this booked helped. A
few others members on this list have similarly built their own
equipment for fabricating plated through boards.
