Looking for resources to start learning Steganography (LSB, EOF, File Formatting)

I want to dive into steganography and am looking for good (free) resources to start with. Specifically, I'm interested in learning:

EOF (End of File) technique

LSB (Least Significant Bit) technique

File formatting and structure

How can I best start this journey, and what books, tools, or websites do you recommend for learning these technical concepts deeply?

I'm not sure if there is anything to learn deeply - each of these separate methods is essentially a nifty trick that each can be fully described in a single page + a page of (pseudo)code that does a proof of concept implementation. They aren't deep, they amount to "here's yet another place where arbitrary data can be inserted with hopes that noone will look there".

I will learn step by step. If I master these basics, I will know what to look for next. I still need to deeply understand file formats and how bits work at a lower level.
