Looking for a book or dvd. Can you help?

I've been using a thumbpick exclusively now for the last couple of months. I've done alot of fingerstyle over the years and have gone back and forth with using a thumbpick.
It feels like this time I'm going to stick with it as I've found a way to use the Herco flatpick/thumbpicks by reshaping them to suit my style. I really like the flexibility of being able to switch back and forth from fingerpicking to flatpicking without having to hold onto a flatpick. Also it allows the freedom of using all my fingers which hybrid picking doesn't.

Anyhoo...I'm hoping to find a book or dvd that focuses on fingerstyle technique when playing single note lines. I know there are some books/dvd's focused on hybrid picking but I haven't seen any specifically geard toward using a thumbpick.

I'm thinking I may have to look at some classical guitar materials.

Again, I'm looking specifically for single note technique studies and methods not Atkins style or chord melody etc.

Anybody know of something that would help me out??
