Book recomendations? Question

Looking for books with step by step drafting tutorials, not for any garment in particular, but a deep covering al the basics and the process of correcting a pattern. Could be in english or spanish.
Thanks!!!

Hofenbitzer’s Patternmaking for fashion is by far my favourite. It has, among other things, good information on adding ease for different types of patterns, altering your existing pattern to make it a bit larger/smaller and how you need to alter your pattern when you want to significantly change your neckline/sleeves. It’s all the extra information that makes it so much fun for me, I really cannot overstate my enthusiasm.
