    "Clinker plywood boatbuilding manual" by Iain Oughtred. One of the best for your form of construction
    " How to build glued-lapstrake wooden boats" by John Brooks & Ruth Ann Hill. Very good also

    Gougeon's book on working with epoxy is excellent and is apparently available as a download.

    these books are are probably about all you need with a bit of coaching from designer and forums.

    chappel, steward Pardey McIntosh. are good books but don't really explain lapstrake in the modern epoxy format very well.
