No book dedicated to just the topic of WCS. It is covered in many books, but really comes down to a basic understanding of Coordinate systems, Geometry and other mathematical equations and processes. This site is having a sale on Material I am looking to pick up a couple series for the apprentices we are training through our company.

 

Here are some links that a google search gave me:

 

http://www.euclideanspace.com/maths/geometry/space/coordinates/

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinate_system

 

http://ads.harvard.edu/books/1989fcm..book

 

The link from Harvard covers Celestial Mechaincs and is more related to Space and Time, but does have some good reading to it.

For X8, go to 'the other site' and if you look at support/tutorials, there's a WCS introduction pdf you can download.

And if you click the X8 and scroll to X7, you'll find another.
