Books on potty training for adults (to read that is!)

I'm a reader and a researcher, so sue me . We've approached the subject of potties and big boy pants with ds1 (2.9) and he's none too keen. I'm fairly sure he knows when he's wetting and he will occasionally ask for his nappy to be changed as it's "too wet mummy". We've tried nappy off time for the half hour before his bath and have mention the potty frequently during it, but he's peed on the floor every time.

So we're not pursuing it at the moment but I wondered if anyone has any recommendations for books to read on the general subject?

Hi Sparkle,
I read many, many books including the Gina Ford one which I hated and How to Potty Train in One Day which I quite liked (I think that's what it was called anyway). I'm not necessarily an advocate of everything in the One Day book, however it did say something that totally changed my outlook on potty training and really helped DD. It said to focus on staying dry. Previously, we had all been focusing on getting DD to do a pee in the potty and asking her every 10 mins if she needed to pee. Instead, the book advised to ask DD every 10 mins if she was still dry and praise when dry. It worked for us .
