Default Complete guide to LSX engines?

I was wondering if anyone has suggestions or access to a "complete" guided to engines.
I know/knew what I needed to when modding my previous LS1, but I never learned what I wanted to, particularly about the internal workings of an LSX engine.
For instance, lift, cam specs and what duty each spec actually performs - crankshaft operation and everything involved.
Breakaway illustrations and descriptions would be great.

I am having a hard time putting into words what I want to learn, but pretty much everything about how they work.

I need something that is not too high level - I know this forum is great for learning, but it is sporadic at best and based on people's opinions and their knowledge.

Help a brother out!
I am undertaking a large LSX project in three years and I don't just want to pay people to install **** and not know everything inside and out.

Thanks
Nick

Ah great thanks!
The other one didn't get very good reviews from what I read.
I will order it tonight.

Here's a link to a new book coming out. It's only available for pre-orders now but it should be very informative.
