For button quail Jodi MCDonald just put out a book called "A closer look at button quail"
It has a lot of information, history, anatomy. Not a lot of color gentetic type of stuff but great info on the over all well being of these quail. Much of the information also applies to other birds as well but the book is directed towards Buttons.

How about coturnix quail?
I've not heard of a coturnix book. I think one was written in the 60's??? Can't quote me on that. I haven't seen it and it has been awhile since I looked for one. I know things have changed since the 60's in many aspects and theories on raising birds. Atonamy stays the same though.

Quail Past and Present
This book is all about Coturnix quail, with fascinating chapters on their history and domestication. There is detailed information about keeping quail not only for a hobby but also commercially, with 30 colour photographs including most of the colour variations in Coturuix quail and numerous black and white photographs and illustrations.
I just ordered some of these for my store, they are on their way from the UK and I should have them in stock next week.

I don't know of one. Let me know if you do find one.
Dr. Leland Hayes has a book, "Upland Game Birds." It has a little about Coturnix (a chapter) but has a lot of information about his experiences raising other game birds.
His website is: http://www.lelandhayes.com/index.html
He used to have a newsletter where you could ask him questions and he would answer them personally. I used to get it a few years ago.
Maybe we should write a book. Starting with the sticky!
