Any good books about hardsurface modeling/topology?

Hey guys!
Please advice some books with fairly good explanation of  hardsurface modeling and topology. 

Thanx a lot in advance!

"William Vaughan - pushing points" is pretty good in general about topology

Cut my modeling teeth on this one, when there wasn't much else to self learn from:

Polygonal Modeling: Basic and Advanced Techniques - Authored by Mario Russo

An example of his work - "The Gates Of Hell"

EDIT:

You might want to also check out our Sub Division Modeling thread sticky'd at the top of this page:

How The F*#% Do I Model This? - Reply for help with specific shapes

A ton of relevant insight stretching back years and some of which you'll not find in a book...

I have heard it is a good book. So, I will check it up too.I also decided to try looking for books on topology at https://freebooksummary.com/category/drown because there are some summaries and possibly book reviews. Recently, I read the summary at the Drown there and almost finished reading it. Hope I find something else there.

I have heard it is a good book. So, I will check it too
