What's the best, inexpensive book on silkie breeding, genetics and SOP?

[Cloverr39]

I'm thinking about purchasing a book on silkie breeding, genetics, colors and SOP. I've had a lot of people recommended buying a book on this topic to learn more about it. Every single person has suggested a completely different book, so I'm a bit lost. They seem to be quite expensive, so can anyone suggest some books that wouldn't cost so much? Under 60€ preferably if not even less. I think most books I've looked at cost 70-80+ €. Maybe there's an alternative way of learning more on this topic. I understand that they are quite pricey because these authors put all their knowledge into these books. Still I feel like browsing many different articles and websites is a bit of a messy way to learn.

Not sure how things are in your country,,, but can you visit a library, and check a book out??? Then just take notes of what is relevant to your breeding program.

To update I've been recommended this book called "Silkies and Silkie Bantams" by Sigrid Van Dort. It's considered the most complete book ever written on Silkies. It covers all Silkie varieties and is very detailed. There are also a lot of illustrations to help better understand it.
I personally have not bought it yet, but I have briefly flipped through it when someone who owned it let me take a look. I would definitely invest in this book in the future.
