The Last Best Book On Vegas Pro?

I know we live in a digital age, but I still like to read actual books. In terms of Vegas Pro, the last best book on the subject appears to be this one: Vegas Pro 11 Editing Workshop https://www.amazon.com/Vegas-Pro-11-Editing-Workshop/dp/0240823699/ by Douglas Spotted Eagle. It has gotten mostly favorable reviews and personally I think it is excellent. Some features he does a deeper dive into than others. I was curious if anyone knows of any other books on Vegas Pro, in a similar vein to this one, a comprehensive view of the whole program.

I've never found anything better than Spots book on V11. Still refer to it from time to time.

Yes, it is an oldie but goodie. In fact, I was thumbing through it again today and I swear everytime I read it, I learn something new. For instance, I completely forgot that effects can be applied at the Program level. And then I feel kind of stupid for not having been more thorough in learning the program. I knew effects could be applied at the Clip or Event level and at the Track level, and then I was like, "Oh wow, that makes sense to apply them at the Program level in some cases."
