I don't know of any which are exclusively about stocks -- it's a relatively
simple subject. James Peterson's excellent books _Splendid Soups_ and
_Sauces_ both have detailed sections regarding stocks, as does the Culinary
Institute of America's _New Professional Chef_.

Seriously, making stock is not complicated, though it can be time-consuming.
