Best books to learn Croissants & viennoiserie, in order

Viennoiserie is the deep end of baking, so the sequence matters intensely. Learn dough and gluten first, then lamination — the butter-and-turns technique everything depends on — then proofing and shaping croissants and pain au chocolat. Rush the lamination or proof at the wrong temperature and you get bread, not layers; respect the order and you get shattering, honeycombed crumb.
