Best books to learn Pies & tarts, in order

Pies stand or fall on the crust, so pastry technique comes before fillings. Start with doughs and keeping fat cold, then blind baking and shaping, then the range of sweet and savory fillings and finishes. Understand why overworked dough turns tough before you roll, and flaky crust becomes reliable instead of the thing that ruins an otherwise good bake.
