I am wanting to try and build a laminated longbow or recurve. Does anyone have any recommendations for some good reading material or DVDs on the topic? Thanks.

A classic old text is _The Flat Bow_:

The instructional materials from Binghams are really good and have spawned many bowyers.

As far as books....Jack Harrison's "Traditonal Bowyer, More unnecessary Fun" is a good read.
