Greetings! You wrote: "Can a good book be recomended?"
It's very likely that you know about this book by a frequent NavList contributor, Bill Morris from New Zealand, but it's so good that I'd like to recommend just in case you are not aware of it. It will tell you all you need to know about sextant construction:
W.J. Morris: The Nautical Sextant. Paradise Cay Publications (2010). ISBN-10: 0939837897.
Best regards and fair winds,
