i've only read one and that is "Melvyn Hiscock - Make your own electric Guitar"
it's pretty detailed.. i do not know what to tell you, but it will sure answer a lot of your questions.

Martin Koch's build your guitar is also very good. Has a lot of tips on how to do things with minimal setups and also lots of useful jigs. I say get both.
The above mentioned are great. Another that's pretty good, expecially for pics, is Make Your Own Electric Guitar & Bass by Raymond and Waring.
Check your local library also, mine had two of these books you may be able to read them before deciding on a purchase. I like the Hiscock book best with koch's book next but the pictures in it are of low quality. I have read all three and each has some thing to offer! Tim
