Helo books

I know there are a few therads on this already, so sorry in advance.
I've merged the various threads for easy reference. Heliport

Making a list for Christmas book list and could do with some advice.
Mainly looking for theory and design books. I have nearly finished a degree in Space sciences, so the maths isnt to much of a problem, as long as the assumed knowledge isnt to great.

Im settled on the three Ray Prouty books, however would like some more. The others are,

1)Helicopter Theory, Wayne Johnson

2)Principles of Helicopter Aerodynamics, J. Gordon Leishman

I was also thinking about getting Shawn Coyles book as well.

Are all these books going to overlap alot, or do they offer extra information.
Any other books that someone feels like recomending would be appreciated.
Im also looking for information on the S-69 ABC. If anyone knows of books or papers on this helo, and where I can purchase them it would be much appreciated.
