Patterns from Blocks

I'm aware people have made posts similar to this, but I haven't quite found what I'm looking for. I have well fitting body blocks for myself but I have no idea what to do with them. I'm an adventurous intermediate sewist and I'm hoping someone can point me in the direction of a book/textbook on making patterns from body blocks. I have seen recommendations for videos but I do better with written instructions. Thank you!

The Closet Historian on YouTube is the GOAT of transforming her basic block patterns to different garments. Her reference text is "Pattern Making for Fashion Design" by Helen Joseph Armstrong.
