Recommended Books or Pitches to read to better understand Short Selling?

I'm trying to learn more about short selling, as my previous experience has been in long only stuff but I'm looking to diversify my skillset. Do you all have any recommendations for books for me to read or pitches to look over to better understand how people generally think about shorts?

I've already read Confidence Game and Fooling Some of the People All of the Time, so curious to hear if those are the two seminal books on shorting or if there are some other books to check out.
