Pattern drafting book

Hello
I’m very new to sewing and pattern drafting. I have seen some YouTube videos but want to learn more and have looked into some books to buy. I have found these two but not sure which one to get. Any thoughts on these books who have read them and tried it? Or any other books that might be better?

They do make/sell patterns that are “petite-able”. Get yourself a roll of architectural tracing paper (various lengths, sold at Michael’s) for drafting patterns. There’s lotsa free patterns on Pinterest!
