I was going to recommend this book, but realized that it's more for lathe work than hand carving. There's some stuff in there applicable to carving, though, for the knights and king/queen tops. IIRC, it has some other good tips like proper sizing and weighting of the pieces.
I see there's also a few other books that get good reviews, but I have not personally read these:
