what are good painting books?

My little cousin wants to learn how to paint. He's been stripping down old bicycles and painting them. he wants to learn how to paint designs or make candies, etc.

what is a good book that can give him tips?

kinda like how you guys recommended the speedball book for lettering. is there a staple book for automotive painting that i could get on amazon.com for cheap?

thanks
