For some fun historical context, checkout Moxon's "Mechanick Exercises" or Nicholson's "Mechanic's Companion", which are both treatises on various tradecrafts (including carpentry and joinery, which is where stairs would come in) around the late 1600s and early 1800s, respectively. Those two books essentially serve as the foundation for the modern hand-tool woodworking movement.

I mention this because "Lost Art Press" is currently on the front page, who are an independent woodworking book publisher near the front of this movement
