Looking for Book on Borders

I want to buy a book on making borders because I'm looking for some designs other than plain strips of fabric, such as pieced borders. Does anyone have a favorite to recommend? Thanks.

Pieced Borders: The Complete Resource by Judy Martin comes to mind.

The Border Workbook, by Janet Kime, is my go-to source

Donna Jordan has a very nice YouTube video on making interesting borders:

The Border Workbook: Easy Speed-Pieced & Foundation-Pieced Borders, 10th Anniversary Edition Paperback – November 1, 2006
by Janet Kime

I just ordered this on Amazon. Purchased a used version for $8, and it was in excellent condition. I also wanted to bump-up from simple 2 inch strips attached to outside border!

"Borders, Binding and Edges" and "Fantastic Finishes" are two I saw on Amazon.

I like : Quilter’s Academy Vol. 5 - Masters Year: A Skill-building course in Quiltmaking, Book 5 of 5: Quilter's Academy | by Harriet Hargrave and Carrie Hargrave-Jones | Jan 7, 2016. This book is focused on making Medallion quilts, which are essentially adding one border after another. Very good for making the border fit the quilt.

I did not particularly like the newest book from these authors which is called The Ultimate Quilt Finishing Guide.
