This is my favorite book that I’ve found - lots of scientific explanation & some very solid recipes. https://www.amazon.com/Chocolates-Confections-Formula-Technique-Confectioner/dp/0764588443?crid=25GLONMA924AY&keywords=chocolates+%26+confections&qid=1538291326&sprefix=chocolates+%26+&sr=8-4&ref=mp_s_a_1_4
The only one I can think of is basically a textbook but has some beautiful pictures. It's "Chocolates and Confections" by Peter Greweling
