It is interesting, birders usually use binoculars even more than FGs, yet, on first impression, books on binoculars are no topic here. I'd like to at least post a link that corrects the strange dichotomy to some extent: https://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=374710
The OP calls it the "Bible of the binocular world", and on first impression, I have to agree with him.
The book by Holger Merlitz is in German which makes it less popular in this forum, of course, or should I say less helpful. Nevertheless, it contains so much interesting info with excellent illustrations that it is definitely worth taking at least note of its existence. There is this thread in the binocular section linked to above. So no need to say much more about it here, except to try to make forum participants aware of that thread.
A picture of the book can be found here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Handferngl...r+merlitz&qid=1554819147&s=books&sr=1-1-spell
