Medieval Illuminators and their Methods of Work  by Jonathan J.G. Alexander
For some reason this book has been unavailable from the publisher for the past year, but it's back now!  It is a classic study by a well-recognized expert in the field.  Examples of unfinished manuscripts are shown so that one can see the stages involved.  Similar illuminations from different manuscripts are printed side by side so the differences and similarities can be easily compared.  A number of illuminations that show the artists at work are included.  The text is full of interesting information obtained from period documents, including translations of contracts for work.
