"Handling the Big Jets" by D.P. Davies
If it's stood the test of time, must be good. The physics don't change so the book will still be valid.

Another geometric characteristic that would promote flat spinning in airliners would be the fuselage cylinder ahead of the wing. At extremely high AOA, it would produce a drag force in the positive lift direction ahead of the cg.
