Yes, agree, those are good, and I'd also add "Hand Applied finishes"
by Jeff Jewitt (I think he's the author)
Barry Lennox
Jeff is the author of that and others. Has a spraying book out next year. I
visit his forum at least one daily and have learned a lot there and his video
cleared up French Polishing problems. www.homesteadfinishing.com also has
SEARCH capability.

While Bob Flexner's book, "Understanding Wood Finishing" was my first
book devoted to finishing, I prefer having both his AND "Finishes &
Finishing Techniques" from Fine Woodworking, as it has chapters written
by various experts in the field. Bob's book left me with a few
unanswered questions that were covered in the F&FT book. But his book
should be in every woodworker's library. If you spray, I'd suggest the
"Spray Finishing" book by Andy Charron. I'm in the middle of that one
right now and so far I'm pleased with the detail given. I ordered it
from Lee Valley for $15 and have seen it at Borders also.
